Expedition
On a road trip to visit my brother in New Bern, NC, I stopped in Maryland Thursday evening to break up the drive. Unfortunately, there were no good hashpoints on the way to MD, but getting ready to finish the drive to NC, I found this hash would only add a half hour to the trip. Looking at the street-view, I didn't see any posted signs, so I wrote out new directions in the hope of adding a new graticule to my list.
Arriving on the road by the hash, I was happy to confirm no posted signs, but the area by the hash that looked like a clear cut forest was very thick and overgrown. Fortunately, the hash looked to be close to the woods on the side which were much more open. Walking toward the hash I found it was right at the edge of the thick area, but it took a bit of a GPS dance to get a close reading.
Success found, I headed back to the road and finished up my drive to my brother's house.
