Location

A vacant lot in Sugar Grove.

Participants

Plans

Probably stop by really late after dark -Tarasaurus (talk)

Expedition

After having dinner together my partner and I headed out to the area near the hash point around 10pm, parking the car at a nearby restaurant. We walked up to the edge of the vacant land together and found it was full of brush and tall grass, and more resembled a prairie than a vacant lot. Since neither of us were dressed or equipped for bushwhacking through a prairie, let alone in near total darkness, we elected not to proceed further and headed home instead. After all, there are wild Pokemon in the tall grass, and we didn't have a full party with us (just Sylvie). Mission failed, we'll get 'em next time.

by failing to reach the (41, -88) geohash on 2024-07-20.
