Expedition
I left my room on Ft. Hood at about 1:15. Drove about 45 minutes to the area just north of Troy, Tx. It took a while to find the right place becuase I hadn't figured out how to enter the coordinates into my gps receiver. And the spot that it appeared to be on Google maps was a bit off. But, I found it after parking in a vacant lot and walking about 100 yards. The point was next to a fenceline in an unused cow pasture. I didn't see anyone else or any signs that anyone had been there before me. I left a note and took a few pictures. In all, a fairly easy trip for my first geohashing experience.

I made this little sign, similar to others I have seen on this site.

This trailer appeared to be abandoned, so it made a convenient parking spot.
