I broached the topic over sushi. Her eyes glazed over when I started to explain what an md5 hash is, but she agreed to do it.
DM;GDAA
Expedition
We left the sushi joint and used Google Nav to get us to within about 180 feet.
Google Maps was a little off as far as what a drive-able road was, so we stopped in the point on the road (keep in mind this is inside a cemetery so these are little one lane roads) and ventured into the mud. Yes, mud. It was muddy going and at one point I thought we would have to clamber over a hedge full of bushes, in which case I was ready to abandon. However, Anonymous Female found a path around the side and the spot itself was in a relatively grassy area. She correctly pointed out that we could have avoided the mud completely by taking a different route. So yeah, she's a natural.
Just near the hash point was a deer shaped archery target as well as a bag hanging from a frame for archery practice. We went back to the car and high tailed it out of there!
I found it interesting to note that there is a Coffin Potato Achievement which could have come into play, if this area had been used for graves.
