Expedition

Hic Sunt Laganum

We arrived to this location as early as we could, thankfully lights and shadows were observed inside the residence. The front door was snowy but hey it's a front door so we knocked, receiving no answer we traveled to the side/back door easily visible to the residents we received a warm welcome. We explained our scavenger hunt for GPS coordinates and secured permission. The instructions said to take the runway to the back field. We thought that was just their name since the overhead showed it bordering six fields. Lo and Behold it was an actual runway with a plane and everything. The gently falling snow in the moonlight was quite beautiful. Returning to the vehicle we waved goodbye and secured our frozen geohash credit. This was also a step forward in finishing our Reverse Regional achievement as our graticule has only a slim piece of land running down it's west side that is in the next county. You may observe the temperature photo showing the car parked in a different graticule, we thought that was pretty sweet.
