Plans
Kyrkazakh (talk) hopes to visit, or at least come close to doing so, in the early afternoon.
Expedition
Arriving from the west after unlocking 44 -94 via 2024-11-10 44 -94, I was optimistic about my chances with this one. I knew it was located in a building according to OSM, but maybe the building feature on the map was misaligned, or maybe I could enter the building (home to trucking and logistics companies, by the way — this is, after all, on a frontage road in the U.S.) somehow... Anyways, I saw a cool train engine(?) on the way, but upon arrival it became clear I would not be reaching the true hash site today. I got as close as I could by looping around the north side of the building, but no dice. Well, something to log at least!
On my way back I took an interstate cloverleaf exit to 'turn' 'left' (you get what I mean) and accidentally crossed over my own path — darn it! Like 3 hours of careful Tron driving all dashed thanks to a single interchange! Ah well. No multi-hash or Tron achievements today, and my first unsuccessful expedition. C'est la vie de Geohashing.
