Location
West of Odessa on highway 28.
Participants
Plans
Quick stop on eastward journey to camping.
Expedition
Summertime is awesome. Not because it's sunny and warm, not because I'm taking time off work. It's great because I travel to the other side of the state to camp with friends - and that means multiple opportunities to geohash along the way - IF the coordinate cooperate.
I could see from the overhead map that this looked like someone's property, but it also looked like a parking area or maybe an area where livestock are moved. Heck, could even be just a field used for racing go karts. Either way, worthy of an expedition - and hopefully success.
The last part was not to be.
The area was fenced in, a simple fence, and while there were no signs indicating I couldn't enter, I respected the closed gate. Yes, if the geohash had been 2 or even 20 meters inside I probably would have gone, but 342 meters? I don't think so. I did bring a printout also, in case a farmer or rancher was in evidence to show. No luck there either.
I continued on my way. I enjoy driving down a peaceful two lane highway more than a multi lane freeway anyhow - more opportunities to see the world and even stop for ice cream.
