Location

On Rambling Farm Dr. Near Hamilton, VA

Participants

McKay (talk)

Plans

10:20 AM - Hmm, I think I'll head out there. 2 Hour drive for my first time in the graticule? I'll think about it over breakfast.
11:50 AM - I'm going. I'll be there in about an hour. I'm going to try for No Batteries Geohash. Should be easy enough with the poster, and a couple of notes on the back. McKay (talk) 15:52, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Expedition

I took the poster, and drew a crude map on the back, and I left. I went up route 7, got off on the 704 to Colonial, then took that to Bettis, and that to Rambling Farm Dr. I looked around and found a few landmarks and took a spherical photo stitch.

Photos

The camera looking in the SW direction (with guy with stupid grin)
The camera looking in the SE direction (with guy with stupid grin)
The camera looking in the NW direction (with guy with stupid grin)
