Location

A roadway near Cornelius Pass Road

Participants

Jiml

Plans

Head there on my way home from work

Expedition

It turns out that all of my surveying aids had very different ideas of where the hashpoint was. Peeron seemed to think it was off in the middle of the property, while Google Maps put it on the very side of the roadway, but my GPS put it in the middle of the road.

I was initially worried about a change in the DJIA causing the problem, but that usually sends it VERY far away.

However, it was close to my route home, so I tried. It was easy to get to. I first thought it might have been a Deja Vu from last Saturday, but it turned out to be a similarly named road. I drove through the hashpoint and took a blurry photo of my GPS, and headed home.
