Expedition

I headed for this once after checking in at the hashpoint in Westminster. I stopped at a Wawa on the way for coffee, a sub, and cheap gas. When I approached, I realized there was a security checkpoint at the entrance to the area that I initially thought was an industrial park. I slowed down and saw that all the blinds at the security checkpoint were drawn and no one was inside, so I continued.

I pulled over next to a picnic gazebo type place with picnic tables and a couple of grills. There were two pits for horseshoes next to it and a wide open area. I assume this is where they do drilling, as there were no backstops, goals, or other evidence of it being a sports field.

Right across the street was some modular housing where some people lived and a couple cars came and went while I was doing the GPS dance and snapping pics on a military installation but no one paid me any mind.

Once back on the main road I snapped a pic of a parking lot that had some cool military vehicles in it.

After this one I decided to head for the Washington, DC East geohash in Cambridge, MD.
