Location

Just off the parking lot of a commercial establishment in City of Industry, California

Participants

McKay (talk)

Plans

McKay (talk) may make a trip today. The location is in a clear enough space that I may attempt a hand drawn No Batteries Geohash again.
- I've made a map to attempt the No Batteries achievement.

Expedition

No sweat. There was a guy just inside the building who was looking at me funny, but I found it without any difficulty at all.

Photos

The map I used
The Google map for comparison
This is my approach from a distance. You can see the shape of the building and the sign as a great reference.
This is my approach getting closer with the target in the center of the screen.
I'm standing on the right spot
Obligatory Grin
