Location

Strawberry stand in Lincoln, CA

Participants

Lucky91xj

Plans

Trying for a late morning hash

Expedition

Got as close to the hash as possible (38.926753,-121.282352) at about 9:30 am PST, but my GPS didn't seem to want to find the exact location. That, and I probably don't know how to use it correctly. I think I can count this as successful, due to my margin of error being about 4 feet. If I'm wrong, please correct me. I also left a marker nailed to a piece of scrap wood against the fence that blocked my efforts. There weren't any "No Trespassing" signs, but this is bull and shotgun territory, so I decided not to hop it. It was really gorgeous out there, with blue skies and white, fluffy clouds. Sadly, no one else was there. Not bad for my closest attempt yet!
