Location

In a field in Ashton, MD

Expedition

It turns out this is really close to my buddy Phil's house. I parked in a cul-de-sac in a housing development that was not built yet, and traversed the area designated as "LOT 12." Hopped a couple of construction fences and saw another fence with the sign pictured.

Had to traverse an area of intense pricking vines, then came to another fence. Hopped it and walked out into the field.

My GPS navigation skills are getting better, as I had to do hardly any "GPS dancing." Just a few course corrections as I walked and I was there.
