Location

Just west of I-84

Participants

Eldin

Plans

Before heading out to visit my parents for the Thanksgiving holiday, I checked the day's hashes. This one was too close to my route to pass up.

Expedition

We pulled off at a rest area and parked about 3300ft from the hash. My wife opted to stay in the car while I headed out to the hashpoint. Navigating across uneven ground and around juniper trees in the dark was mildly challenging, but the hash was reached without incident. In total I walked about 1.5 miles, which took just over half an hour.

At the hash! Another virgin graticule falls! -- Eldin (talk) @42.0660,-112.9097 19:23, 27 November 2013 (MST)

Photos

Proof.
Grin.
This trail ran within GPS error of the spot, but roughly perpendicular to the line between the hash and where I parked.

Achievements

Eldin earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (42, -112) geohash on 2013-11-27.
