Plans?? Hah! It's 103 degrees out and I have errands to do. I went by on my way home. I programmed the GPS with the coordinates, and took a GoogleMaps printout, not that I actually followed it correctly initially.
Expedition
After completing my errands preparing for our trip East, I drove out to Banks to try to find the hashpoint.
In the process of getting to the point, I went around a triangle in the road, with a lot of brush in the middle of it. As I went behind it, the GPS pointed into the middle of it. Clearly I had crossed the stupidity distance, as I was strongly tempted to get out of the car and plunge directly into the middle of it.
However, sanity prevailed and I relized that the hashpoint was actually on the other side of the road, just as I suspected from GoogleMaps. So, I walked around the triangle and crossed the road.
I found myself confronting a hedge, probably full of raptors. However, the stupidty distance had been crossed, so I plunged in (slowly) and managed to evade any bites as I made it to the other side of the brush. There I found the hashpoint on the edge of the field. I took a picture and headed home.
