Expedition

• As I feared, there seems to be no public access. -- Eldin (talk) @43.5887,-116.4836 21:50, 6 March 2013 (MST)

I was worried that there might not be any public access, but I was unsure. And since hashpoints within 10 miles of home are a bit of a rarity, I decided to try for it. I parked my car about 2/3 of a mile from the hash point, and proceeded to walk. Initially, I was encouraged by a lack of 'no trespassing' signs or closed gates. Walking along the edges of plowed fields, I was able to get to within 720ft of the coordinates before I reached fences that I was unable to pass. I took a few pictures, which I will post once I get them off the camera.

This hash reminded me of how out of shape I've gotten over the last year. I'll have to get onto an exercise program of some sort to remedy that.
