This is my first hash attempt after several months of lurking.
On my route home from work, so very easy to get close, but the actual spot was a bit more difficult.
This is an area of town where I will stand out as someone not supposed to be there, so I decided to go all out and wear a hard hat and safety vest, in the attempt to appear that I not only have a reason to snoop around the woods, but a very official one, in fact, and leave me alone.
I found a place to park and the local pharmaceutical salesmen eyed me warily as I hopped out of my truck. I nodded in their general direction, and tried to give an air of a bored worker who has to complete one more survey before it's "Miller time".
I soon found a hole in the cyclone fence and was bushwhacking toward the hash. Not shown on google maps is a nice creek, which I rockhopped and stayed dry. (It is on BING -- I won't do another expedition without checking theirs in the future).
I got within my iPhone's margin of error (about 150', yes, laugh all you GPSr owners), and high tailed it back to the truck.
