Appears to be easy adventure, by vacant lot on frontage road of busy urban highway

Left this message here with my phone number about 1500 today

First known non-birthday expedition in the Pensacola, FL graticule - done solo.

Arrived 1909 CST - 39 minutes late - time enroute 59 minutes

Delayed - attention diverted by shiny objects at Crestview
Too bad northwest FL and AL are both in same time zone
- Otherwise could have arrived before I left Crestview

No worries enroute or during navigation to specified point via satellite imagery

Alas the location occupied only by relatively heavy passing traffic

Needed logistics run to do photodocumentation

Viable AA battery supply had reached zero balance
Navigation gear was required only for documentation and now running on potato wagon power
Contrived xkcd sign and posted on nearby real-estate sign as notice to other hashers
Trekked to Dollar Tree (tm) store in shopping center a mile or so south to resupply AAs
On return I made a low pass in burner - blew through the point at speed limit 45 MPH
Then back around for full stop about 12 meters north to complete documentation using newly acquired AAs.

Mission successfully concluded without casualty or further incident
