Location

Field outside of Volo, IL.

Gmaps lists nearest address as 30981 N Fisher Rd, Wauconda, IL 60084. Appears to be in a farmer's field very close to an access road.


Participants

FireTrophy. This is my first attempt at a geohash!

Plans

Planning to drive out there, to arrive around ~7:30 pm. Gonna grab some dinner later, there looks to be a place called Bobby's Barrel Inn nearby.

Expedition

      • Success!   I'm at Bobby's Barrel Inn right now***

 After speaking with a very polite but confused Farmer Mike tonight, I made my way out to his cornfield to mark the approximate spot around 7:20. 

Weather was cold and windy tonight, and the ground was damp and loamy due to an unseasonably warm winter.

I didn't have a GPS, nor could I find a way to check my exact coordinates, so I estimated.  but I did have a  iPhone and Google Earth, which got me to the approximate area.
