"[...] Red and blue makes purple." ~Prince

Location

On a Peine Farms field northeast of Cannon Falls, MN.

Participants

Kyrkazakh (talk)

Plans

Kyrkazakh (talk) will stop by the nearest accessible location on her way south. Likely to be unsuccessful.

Expedition

It's 5 pm in November in Minnesota so you know that means dusk. A gorgeous time to be out on the roads, if a bit scary when other cars are around. Hash site was deep in a farm field but would've been accessible if I didn't care about trespassing. Gravel road led to gravel road, and eventually I wound up driving through the farm's central area, complete with grain elevator, nearby houses, and what seemed like a CAFO... you always smell the feedlot before you see it. Anyways I thought I could get a bit further down the road but got stopped by a posted No trespassing. Can't get much clearer than that. +1 towards Posted. So I got out, snapped some photos, and wary of annoying the neighbors, rolled onwards through Cannon Falls (haven't been through that town since MNDoT removed the nearby stoplight from Highway 52) and back towards my home region. As not-reached expeditions go that was an enjoyable and aesthetic (if smelly) one.

Photos

What a beautiful time of day and year.
I am greeted by looming grain silos.
Towards the setting sun.
Somewhere in the distance is the actual hash...
...but I've hit a literal and figurative dead-end.
Here's how close I got. Ish.
[insert sitcom theme here]
Selfie with silo on the way out.

Achievements

Kyrkazakh (talk) earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost (650 meters) reaching the (44, -92) geohash on 2024-11-26.
