Location

Farmland south of Hillsboro

Participants

Jiml (talk)

Plans

I was going to go by after work, but then decided just to swing by on my way to work.

Expedition

I was on my way to work when I realized I was going right by the road to the hashpoint, and I might as well drive by and be nearer the hashpoint. I knew it wasn't accessible, being in a field, but figured I'd try.

I turned on Heikes Road and drove to the end of it. And turned around at the end of the road and headed to work. However, on the way out, I noticed a sign in the window of the office saying that visitors should check in. And on the way out, I noticed a rather faded sign indicating that visitors check into the office.

However, the road didn't appear to be a private way, and there weren't any no trespassing signs, so I guess I wasn't technically trespassing, but I would have turned around earlier if I had seen (and managed to read) those signs.

In any event, I hadn't gotten around to programming the GPS, so I guess this was an expedition without GPS.

Achievements

No Trespassing
