Location
The edge of one of those "roads" inside a strip mall in Waukesha.
Participants
Plans
When I woke up this morning and looked up the day's coordinates, I was happy to see that the spot was not only right down the street from my in-laws, but there was a geocache less than 20 feet away!
Expedition
As soon as work wrapped up for the day, I headed out. It was perfect since my wife and I were having dinner with my in-laws and the hashpoint was just down the street in a strip mall.
When I arrived at the spot, I parked right next to a light pole and wandered over to the coordinates which were in the "road" inside the strip mall. I snapped a couple of quick pictures and made a screen capture of my GPS for posterity.
The cache was one of those "35mm film canister under a light pole skirt" hides right next to where I had parked. Nice and easy.
Not a bad excursion! I found a geohash and a geocache in the same spot and didn't have to get dirty at all.
