When I looked at eupeodes map this morning I saw it was possible to reach ground zero at two different graticules. I planned to leave at 10:00 am and drive to the one near Exshaw first. ThenI was going to drive back to the city and go out to Cougar Ridge where the second geohash is located . I was going to pick up a Squishee at the Mac's store which is 300 meters from the geohash. Then was going to look for 8 geocaches located in the area.
