Okay, wow, this is an old one. Plans were to drive across the state on highway 2 and stop at the geohashpoint. Zeke's drive-in was the first stop on the way.

Spurred by this showing up in the count, despite my name *not* being under Participants, I dug into my photos folder to find the evidence. A picture is worth 1000 words (YMMV), but here's the story in text form.
My hapless Nexus had no LTE signal in this 2017 deadzone. It has improved somewhat since.
The surveyed hashpoint was south of the road. If a field of weeds or stubble, worth a walk - but it was not. In the long-standing tradition of geohashers who refuse to trample food, future bread or beer, I called the expedition a success by parking and chalking just north of the point.
The EXIF data from the photos indicates I am a few meters off directly north, assuming the GPS they were measuring was correctly reported at the time. I did *not* find a screenshot of the expedition, alas.
Finally, and coincidentally, my most recent geohash attempt was also in this graticule, three east from my normal home. My first attempt here, more than 13 years ago, involved tracking through a harvested field to the exact point.
