Plans

Jim would like to meet early for Mouse-Over day if no one objects. He'll be in the area for the Farmer's Market.

APR thinks that 2PM sounds reasonable, so we'll aim for that.

Expedition

Michael5000's Expedition

Waking up a bachelor, with Mrs.5000 in an airplane over Nebraska, I looked at the hashpoints and found a slam dunk! I programmed the GPS gadget and was out the door in ten minutes.

Once again, using the gadget alone -- although fun -- made finding the hashpoint considerably more cumbersome than relying on maps alone. I think this will always be true, except when the point is under a forest canopy. But after only a few dead ends, it was pretty easy to get the truck on top of the hashpoint. It being a nice suburban street, I decided not to leave a flag to annoy the natives. I set the GPS gadget for home, and followed a somewhat goofy more-or-less-as-the-crow-flies route back to home base. By the time I got back, Mrs.5000 was over Tennessee.
