Location

A field just Southwest of Lafayette, for the second straight day! Different graticule though.

Participants

Plans

Same as yesterday, park as close as we can and then run into the field for a quick successful hash!

Expedition

A success!! The point was just about 250 ft off of the road, and we braved the freezing rain and mud to get our first hash! There were also some cows in the field, but they were a lot farther off than yesterday and didn't seem to be too interested in us... Pictures to come!

Photos

Our first successful expedition!
GPS screen
It was below freezing with ice falling instead of snow!
