Location

On a street or front yard in a neighborhood near a lake.

Participants

Plans

Leave right after work (5pm), drive through/by, and go home.

Expedition

As we got close, we saw a Dairy Queen, so we grabbed some slushies for the GeoSquishy Geohash achievement. We came to a fork in the road, the right side had an open gate and the left side didnt. I went left, which was the wrong way, so we backed up and went through the gate, noticing the No Trespasers sign. The gate was open, and we were already through, so we continued on.

The hashpoint was about 20 feet off the road, so we pulled into the closest driveway, took some pictures and videos, and then headed home (making sure to capture the No Trespassing sign).

Tracklo

Photos
