Expedition

Bishop_Wash: This has been a good trip for geohashing. I've finally grabbed hashes in my wife's and my hometown graticules. Today's hash looked accessible and turned out to be near some railroad tracks. The hash was around 20 miles from Wichita and we headed out in the afternoon to the site. We neared the site by turning off US 77 and stopped at the railroad crossing. The GPS unit showed the hash to be about 450 feet to the south. We took off walking and found the hash just east of the tracks.

Another Virgin graticule under our belts and I added another square to the Kansas Minesweeper achievement.
