Location

About a mile south of I-30 is a closed exit on MacArthur Blvd, Irving, Texas. Just 60 meters from there at the edge of the forest was the hash point.

QuarterCacher

Plans

I was in Dallas for about 10 days and I had already given up as all the hashes were out of range or not reachable.

On my last night in Dallas I was preparing to attend a Clogging Special and as I had some time I did look for the hash.

To my surprise it was just 25 minutes away from my hotel and reachable! As I had 90 minutes left I decided to go for it. :-)

Expedition

Drove northbound on MacArthur and passed the exit and turned around. There was enough space to park the car. As I went for the hash it started to rain, but not to heavy. Through a dry ditch I reached the hash point quickly at the edge of the forest, but had to walk around the small trees for some minutes until the GPS finally decided to show "0 m".

Coordinates reached. :-)

Finally! Today the hash point für the DFW graticule was reachable and near enough. On my last day!
Coordinates reached but I had to walk around for some minutes due to jumping target. ;-)
