Graticule

Location

In the parking lot of an AllState office in North West Redan.

People

Plans

The plan was to meetup with Thomcat. I got finished with what I needed to do this evening, not knowing that Thomcat was going to make it to the point. I left out at about 8:15pm for the hash spot and arrived at about 8:50pm.

Expedition

Arrived at the airport a little late, plotted the route to Clemson from Atlanta... which passed close to Stone Mountain and the hashpoint. The former would be hard to see in the dark, but the latter... achievable! Posted about it on the talk page, sorry I couldn't have researched earlier in the day.

Drove that way and explained the slight detour to my drag-along colleague. He was game, and in the end, it didn't alter our route timing as much as the 15 minute traffic backup did.

On the point -- Thomcat (talk) @33.7578,-84.1972 19:19, 2 November 2016 (EDT)

Posted to the Atlanta talk page again to signal the expedition, then continued on - after a fortifying stop for a milkshake.

On the point -- NWoodruff 20:52, 2 November 2016 (EDT)
