Location

The place was easy to reach. It was right beside the main Moscow-Mink highway just south of the suburban town Odintsovo.

Participants

Московская правда arrived to find evidence of previous geohashers.

Plans

This was a fairly simple expedition: head to Odintsovo then follow the main street south from the railway station till it joins the highway.

Expedition

Odinstovo seen from the railway station. You can see the buses and the yellow triangles on top of the building on Google maps
The road south from Odintsovo railway station, ulitsa Verkhne-Proletarskaya, crosses a stream. The stream is marked on Google maps but not Openstreetmap.org.
The maps say follow ulitsa Verkhne-Proletarskaya but signage on the ground has it as ulitsa Markovskogo - улица Марковского - not such a problem, there's only one road. Its emergence on the main highway can be seen just behind the tall trees in the center of the photo. The foot marks are not mine! Someone's played Amundsen to my Scott.
Московская правда followed in the footsteps - which works out well as Московская правда doesn't have GPS to get the exact spot. Proof by induction: if evidence of the first party emerges, then I've got proof too. Note the newspaper's date, 20 Fevralya, and the date of upload (also 20 Feb.)
Московская правда is still sitting in the snow. Maybe someone else will geohash today!

Tracklog

I don't have a GPS but I bought a copy of Московская правда and then left it at the site for any subsequent geohashers.
