Location

One mile off the road, a quarter mile off the trail, down on the side of a somewhat steep hill.

Participants

tankgunk
his sister.

Plans

Drove down to Buffalo and into the forest, left Sheridan a bit after 3:30pm.

Expedition

Drove to the trail head and went on a ~1 mile hike to the point. More hiking than I generally appreciate, but pretty straightforward. Forgot the actual camera, so I was using my phone as a camera and GPS. Sigh.

Achievements

tankgunk earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (44, -106) geohash on 2011-08-29.

-Looks to be pretty simple, the point is about an hour's drive away from where I'm at, and it's about a quarter mile off the road. It might be on a bit of a hill (will check my topo map at home), but in any case we're giving this a shot.
