- Coordinates Reached! I left for Wagener SC about 10:30 AM in the morning. I arrived at the hash spot to find nobody home. I walked the last 100 feet to the Global Hash coordinates and found them with 1.25 feet to go. Unfortunately 50 miles out of Atlanta, I remembered that I left my camera on my desk at work so there were no pictures.
- I'll type up more later, as in this is a very bitter sweet day for me.
