Location

On the side of the road, just a few miles south of Bozeman, Montana.

Participants

Plans

I have been watching geohashes for a while, and was waiting for an easy one. This one seemed just right. It would only be a ~15 mile detour on the way home from work.

Expedition

Left work at 3:30 pm, and headed to the location. Got passed by a firetruck on they way, but other than that it was fairly uneventful. There was a convenient place to park on the side of the road just 200 ft away, and it was an easy walk over to the geohash. The location was in the ditch on the side of the road. Took some pictures and left a biodegradable sign, then retreated from the heat.
