Expedition

• • • Success!   I'm at Bobby's Barrel Inn right now***

 After speaking with a very polite but confused Farmer Mike tonight, I made my way out to his cornfield to mark the approximate spot around 7:20. 

Weather was cold and windy tonight, and the ground was damp and loamy due to an unseasonably warm winter.

I didn't have a GPS, nor could I find a way to check my exact coordinates, so I estimated.  but I did have a  iPhone and Google Earth, which got me to the approximate area.
