Location

In an industrial part of Aurora.

Participants

Haberdasher (talk)

Plans

Tentatively planning on visiting in the early afternoon (probably between noon and 2 PM). -Haberdasher

Expedition

Ended up arriving a bit later than initially anticipated, around 2:30 PM. The actual hash was about as easy as they come--the Google Maps satellite view made it clear it was near a patch of dirt in the grass, so I just did a loop around the patch of dirt before heading into the car, hitting it for sure without even having to break out the GPS. It was a good excuse for a ride, and a good way to get back into the geohashing loop.
