Location
Burlington Coat Factory store on Alpine Rd, Walker, MI
Participants
Expedition
This was in a typical modern American shopping center on the north side of town. The satmap showed it inside the store, near the northwest corner of the building. Rebekah said she would like to go but was working against a deadline so declined. I drove up during my commute home.
The GPS error got larger as I got close to the wall on the outside of the store, but I was able to get my best proof-shot there. I then went inside, worried that the relevant corner of the store might be partitioned off for offices. Instead it was open and accessible, and generally displayed merchandise intended for hanging on walls. I went to my best guess of the hashpoint as judged from the satmap. The GPS, though, could barely get a usable signal and still showed me outside the store, sometimes well out into the parking lot.

Proof, from outside store.
Exterior of store. The GPS indicated the hashpoint was just to the right of the double doors.
Proof-shot taken from inside, at my best estimate of the position of the checkered flag. The GPS blue dot is still outside, though (despite several clear updates while I was inside.)
