Location

In a corn field near Big Rock, Illinois, U.S.A. Well, actually it might has been closer to Sugar Grove.

Participants

EvilUncleNomo and The Wife

Plans

EvilUncleNomo and The Wife are planning on attempting this geohash Saturday afternoon.

Expedition

This time the target was in a corn field adjacent to what looked like a country club. The Wife suggested that walking along the property line might be easier than trudging through the corn. We saw no signs or people to tell us we didn't belong there, so we forged ahead. Along the way we saw a deer, but I was too slow with the camera to take its picture.

Not sure exactly what this is, but it looked interesting so I took a picture of it.
