Location

In Downs, Kansas.

Participants

Plans

Michael5000 intends to get to this hashpoint, no matter the cost.

Expedition

Starting from Sidney, Nebraska, I drove east on I-80, then cut back briefly on I-76, went south through eastern Colorado on U.S. 385, drove east back into Nebraska and for quite some distance beyond on U.S. 6, eventually cut off to the south on U.S. 136, then turned south on Nebraska Highway 10, which became Kansas Highway 8 at the state line, continued east on U.S. 36 until turning south on Kansas Highway 181, which got me to the town of Downs. After that, it was easy.
