Planning
Appears to be easy adventure, almost on frontage road of busy urban highway
Left this message here with my phone number about 1500 today

Execution
First known non-birthday expedition in the this graticule - done solo.
Arrived 1909 CST - 39 minutes late
- Delayed - attention diverted by shiny objects at 2009-02-26 30 -86
No worries enroute or during navigation to specified point via satellite imagery
- Few meters off clearly defined city street
- Encountered some very light rain enroute
Alas the location occupied only by relatively heavy passing traffic
- No evidence seen to indicate any geohasher had been here today
Needed logistics run to do photodocumentation
- Viable AA battery supply had reached zero balance
- Navigation gear was required only for documentation and now running on potato wagon power
- Contrived xkcd sign and posted on nearby real-estate sign as notice to other hashers
- Trekked to Dollar Tree (tm) store in shopping center a mile or so south to resupply AAs
Mission successfully concluded without casualty or further incident
