Location

Between the sidewalk and the street at 422 Woodbury Dr, Ogden, UT.

Participants

Eldin aka:The Manipulator
Eldin's Sister aka:The Manipulatee

Plans

I saw that the hash point in this graticule was easily reachable and not too far from my Sister's house, so I texted her to ask if she would mind going to a random address and taking pictures. She agreed. So I sent her directions to reach the hash point, along with some explanatory information.

Expedition

My sister reports that she successfully reached the coordinates just before 6pm. She's sending photos to me, which I will try to get uploaded soon. I'll send her a link to this page, so she may or may not come and add her own expedition report to this.

Eldin's Sister adds to this- Earlier today I got a text from my brother that simply read: "Hey sis. If I were to give you an address in Ogden, would you be willing to go there and take some pictures to prove you were there?" I replied with "I can do that" and he emailed me directions complete with a Google Map. This wasn't too far from my condo, so I snagged my husband Keith and we went for a drive. First we up hit our cell phone provider because recently we had downgraded our phone plan from a smart phone to Ye Cheap Plan and basic phone so we changed it Back up to picture texting as well. Then we drove to the location, parked and started snapping pictures with my phone. It was a very quiet street with no one really out and about except a pair of bored teenagers giving us a funny look from a curb. After that we texted the pictures to my brother and headed back home.

Photos

The hash point is between the mailbox and the white truck.
Street sign on a corner near the hash.
