Location

A bit off Little Freezeout Rd, North of Middleton.

Participants

Eldin

Expedition

Being only about 330 ft from the road, this hash was fairly easy to reach. I drove out to it after work, parked my car on the side of the road, and walked out to the hash. The only event of note was stepping in a burrow that had been concealed by the snow. I was fortunate that this did not result in a serious injury, but only bruised my shin. Watching for other hidden holes slowed down my progress somewhat. However, I reached the hash without further incident. There were other recent footprints in the snow within 30 ft of the hashpoint, but I didn't find any which went closer than that. At the hash, I stomped the snow down to roughly form the letters XKCD, took some pictures, and headed back to my car.

Photos

Proof of reaching the coordinates.
Accidental snap that turned out to be the best self-portrait of the trip.
The hashpoint is roughly on the crude X seen here.
Proof of freezing temperature near the hashpoint.
The burrow I stepped in. It's easy to see now, but with weeds and snow on top, it was hard to notice.
