Location

In a field behind a church, near the intersection of McMillan and Locust Grove.

Participants

Eldin

Plans

No real plan, but the hash point was too close to home to pass up.

Expedition

Rode my bicycle to the edge of the field where the hash was located. In a graticule where coordinates which can reasonably be reached without driving are few, I felt rather lucky to have 2 consecutive hashes that were doable by bicycle, and both on the weekend no less. Left bicycle at the boundary between the church property and the field, and walked the rest of the way to the coordinates. The hash only missed qualifying for the Holy Geohash achievement by about 150ft. I reached the coordinates, took some pictures, wandered around the area for a bit, and then headed home. Total round-trip distance traveled was 7.46 miles.


Tracklog

A tracklog was recorded. If I get it posted online, I'll link it here.
