Location

In a field just off of the Hillsboro-House Springs Road in Jefferson County.

Participants

Kbh3rd (talk) and his lovely bride

Plans

Plans? Jumped in the car at the spur of the moment, it was such a beautiful day for February. Figured the best we'd do was a drive-by since these roads don't have shoulders for stopping and it was across the fence -- just -- and I don't trespass.

Expedition

Found there was no shoulder or stopping place, as expected. Found the field inhabited by a herd of bison, which was totally unexpected. I know that there is a bison ranch in Washington County, but had no idea about this one!

The meetup point is in the foreground the photo of the herd of bison below, 13 meters from the geotag on the photo. Counts as reached?

Photos

Photos, taken from the window while driving past, are geotagged.

There was already a meetup underway... of bison.
