Location

On the perimeter of a farmers' field near Sunfield, MI.

Participants

Ipswichb

Plans

On the way driving out from Grand Rapids, where I live, to Canada, I figured I would stop by and see if there was a way to reach this hashpoint!

Expedition

I parked along the side of the road and walked along the east and north perimeters of a beanfield. I startled some frighteningly close deer and several noisy geese. I started walking along the south side, but eventually, I left the perimeter and briefly followed a grassy trail for about ten meters. The hashpoint was right along the trail. I snapped some pictures and went back to my car, continuing on my way to Canada.
