Location

On a road in Bountiful, UT

Participants

McKay (talk)

Plans

I think I'll head up there and arrive at about 3:00 PM MDT

Expedition

I decided to attempt both a Tron achievement and a Speed racer achievement

From my house (which was near the starting location specified, but not exactly to preserve privacy, I headed north to the 1600 N on ramp then headed north on I-15, then stayed on the south side of the road toward the point, approaching it from the south, then heading north, and back along the north side of the road to the freeway. On the way back I got off at the 800 N exit to avoid crossing paths

Tracklog

Video

Video of the Speed Racer achievement

Achievements

McKay (talk) earned the Tron achievement

by reaching and returning from the (40, -111) geohash without crossing his own tracks on 2020-08-16.

McKay earned the Speed racer achievement

by passing through the (40, -111) geohash on 2020-08-16 at 25mph.

I've got a video, but can't get it uploaded (too big)
