[edit] Plans

The hash was close enough to my route coming home from visiting family that I wanted to try to stop on the way and get it.

[edit] Expedition

In order to pass near the hash, I took the old US-30 route instead of the Interstate from Snowville to Burley. About 3 miles from the hash I pulled off on a gravel road that led the right direction. This led to a dirt road, which led to a road that was nothing more than a couple of ruts. As I progressed the last 2 miles from the hash, the ruts became progressively less distinct and the vegetation growing between them taller. Eventually, I got as close as my car was going to get. I still had about 3700 ft (~0.75 miles) to go. So I pulled the car off the side of the track and set off walking. It was a fairly easy 1.5 mile walk to get to the hash from there. My wife elected to stay in the car, as it was a bit cold out. I got to the spot, took some photos, and walked back to the car. It took me about half an hour round trip to walk it.
