Head to the hashpoint after the Farmer's Market.
Expedition
I looked at the hashpoint and decided it was pretty close by and was worth a try.
However, as usual, I had the Farmer's market, but it only served to get me closer to the hashpoint. As I was heading towards the hashpoint, I realized that I had a friend who lived in the area. I hadn't seen him in a while, so I touched base with him, thinking I might get a Drag-along achievement in addition to simply having someone else to journey with, which is nice. (There was a young child involved, which often can increase interest in an "adventure") We visited for a while, but no one else was interested in heading to the hashpoint, so I was on my own.
I set out, and wandered for a while in the small roads of this built up area, but didn't find the "short" way to the hashpoint. I ended up backtracking to Hwy 210 and then trying again, which worked better.
The side roads got smaller and smaller as I got closer to the hashpoint. However, the hashpoint was on private land and I wasn't feeling social enough to try for an Ambassador achievement, so I had to settle for a No trespassing consolation prize.
