Location

This is in the woods off a public trail in Young Conservation Area south of Eureka.

Plans

I won't be able to be there at 4pm. May try around noon or 1pm. Great day for a hike. BTW, follow this graticule on Twitter. I try to post something about the meetup point every day. Kbh3rd (talk) 11:31, 22 February 2014 (EST)

Expedition

We found the meetup point at about 12:45 p.m. and didn't see any other hashers. We were early, of course. This would have been much easier if I had printed out the trail map from the Conservation Department from the link above. Without the map, we bushwacked through underbrush and across creeks much more than was necessary. But it was a great day for a hike!

After roaming off the trail through the woods for some time, we managed to home in on the point in the middle of nowhere and found that it had once been a somewhere. There were the remains of an old stone foundation and/or cellar right there. It was very interesting and totally unexpected!
