I'll go by and see how close I can get. I printed out the Google maps, and attempted to program the GPS in the dark as I walked to the car.
Expedition
Jim
Well, I finally finished up the work I was doing with folks in Asia, and headed off to the hashpoint. The directions from Google Maps didn't match the roadways very well, so I gave up and just took Hwy 30 aways and then turned when the GPS told me to go to the right. (I did remember I needed 15th street.)
I got close and parked and proceeded on foot. I was within 10 meters from the sidewalk, but I tried walking up the walkway and I got a bit closer, but I didn't want to trample the front lawn.
More details and photos will follow.
The 5000s
After work, we drove to 15th and Shaver. We walked up, took a picture, and then went out for Ethiopian food at the Blue Nile. Not every Expedition has to be an amazing adventure!

The Hashpoint is pretty much at that security sign.
Mrs.5000 is amused.
