Successful Virgin Geohash. A field about 10mi N of Huntley, 3 mi NE of Shepherd. Gretchen and David left Rocky about 3pm, and after about 10 minutes through a muddy field were at the hash point at exactly 4 pm. Yay mud. 50 degrees, clear sky, gorgeous day. Snow, but not freezing.

  Gretchen leading the way across a high berm canal separating two fields.

• 

  There was a slight misunderstanding between coordinates- I gave Gretchen seconds of arc, but the GPS only went to minutes of arc. Thus, we were off by about 25 feet- which was still the same field.

• 

  With sundown at 5:30, 4 is getting kind of late.

• 

  It was very muddy. Gretchen decided to take the "solid" snow route. Snow is never solid.
