Location

On Deaf Smith County Road #24, off of Texas Highway 214.

Participants

Michael5000

Expedition

After the 2014-07-25 34 -101 Expedition, I rested up in Amarillo, then headed west on I-40. At Vega I turned south on U.S. 385, crossed into Deaf Smith County -- I've always loved that name! -- and headed west on Farm Road 2587. That landed me very near the hashpoint, which was right on the shoulder of Road #24. I drove over it, and then went back for the traditional barrage of photos.
