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

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

Photos to follow
