Location

In the right-hand north-bound lane of Nob Hill Road in Parkland.


Participants


Plans

This hashpoint was about 6 miles north of me, and in the wrong direction for my morning commute. I drove there before work, anyway.

Expedition

I drove up for an obvious and easy Speed Racer. I must have driven through it on my first attempt due north (I was in the right lane well before I reached it), but I lost track of that on GeohashDroid on the way. Then I circled around again and pulled over close to the hashpoint for pictures and a close GPS read on my phone.

Before heading out I had noticed an odd arrangement of hedges very near the hashpoint, but I didn't investigate it closely on the map. When I got there, I saw that the hedges were camouflage for some kind of utility installation, but there was nothing actually installed besides an unconnected pipe.
