Location

Just off of Mission Gorge Rd, near Jackson Dr.

Participants

JesseW
LucasBrown -- reached the hashpoint at about 12:15.

Plans

Going to head out as soon as possible, probably getting there by 10:30 AM. JesseW 12:29, 17 June 2012 (EDT)

Expedition

It was very easy. Drove out to the Jackson Dr. intersection, parked in the overflow parking lot, walked a few minutes down the path, to the closest point (about 17 meters away, give or take 3 meters). Asked some fellow hikers to take a picture of me, and took pictures of my GPS. I didn't go off the path because it was fragile county (see sign pictured below). Then I walked around to the closest point on the road, which was also about the same distance away from the hash (on the other side), and snapped a few more shots. Pictures & tracklog to come. JesseW 16:19, 17 June 2012 (EDT)

My expedition followed essentially the same route, but stepped carefully off the path to the hashpoint itself. Met a fellow hasher who was out on his first expedition. LucasBrown

That's great! I'm sorry I missed you two. Hopefully the person you met will make a wiki account and post their own write-up. JesseW 02:54, 18 June 2012 (EDT)
