Location

On the side of Highway 34, near a truck stop and the I-5 intersection.

Participants

Frogman
AlecS
Greg
Callie

Plans

I was busy with class when Michael5000 sent me a message: "I see a truck stop in your future." I quickly checked the coordinates and, seeing that he was correct, couldn't concentrate for the rest of the day. I was planning on biking this, but Alec, Callie, and Greg all agreed to go, so we took Greg's truck.

Expedition

Because we were in a truck, we were allowed to park at the truck stop. We strolled over to the hashpoint, which was easily accessible at the side of the road. Cars and trucks zoomed past us as we took pictures and congratulated ourselves. The hashpoint was very messy, so Callie took the opportunity to Geotrash.
