Time: meetup 2p / chalk talk – pack away 2:30p
Hares: Odor Eater
Where: 8703 Shawnee Mission Pkwy, Mission, KS 66202
(Abandoned K-Mart – park on southwest side of bldg.)
Coordinates: 39.013694, -94.689139
YOU MUST HAVE A SMARTPHONE FOR THIS TRAIL (or follow a wank who has one)
The only true trail marks left by your hare are coordinates!
Details during chalk talk, but here’s the gist: Most map apps (Google
Maps, Apple, etc) accept geographic coordinates using Earth’s latitude
and longitude. YOU’LL ENTER COORDINATES (located on trail) ON YOUR
PHONE TO YOUR MAP APP (use coordinates for starting location above to
experiment with).
Odor will
provide the first set of coordinates during chalk talk. Enter them on
your smartphone map app. It’ll display where your next mark is located.
Get directions to that location and start running. Once there, find in
chalk the NEXT set of coordinates. Repeat until you find the Beer Stop.
Along the way, there’ll be turkey and eagle coordinates.
We’ll do two beer stops. Expect approximately 3.5 mile turkey / 4.5 mile eagle / 6 mile super eagle.
