Location

The hashpoint was on (the frozen) Paittasjärvi, near Pirttivuopio.

the ru

Great day for geohashing. I brought skis, but the snow was hard enough to walk on.

This was my second expedition this day, the first being our midnight circus geohash.

Afterwards, I went to Nikkaluokta where I had some coffee.

the ru earned the Walking on water geohash achievement by reaching the (67, 19) water geohash on 2009-04-20 on foot. Yes, on foot.

the ru achieved level 4 of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement by visiting coordinates in Kiruna, Sweden and 4 of the surrounding graticules.

the ru earned the Graticule Unlocked Achievement by being the first to reach any hashpoint in the (67, 19) graticule, here, on 2009-04-20.

the ru earned the Multihash Achievement by reaching the 2009-04-20 67 20 and 2009-04-20 67 19 geohashes on 2009-04-20.

  Do we need a [[Category:Expeditions with powerlines]]?

  The sign (also near Puoltsa) warns about a "wandering moose", which was nowhere to be seen

• 

  I saw some reindeers though

• 

  What grim fate has befallen (no pun intended) these poor trees? :-(

  A weather station (I assume?) near Nikkaluokta

Hashcard

I made a mistake when I wrote the card - I thought Nikkaluokta was on the western side of the 18/19 border, but I was still in 67 19.
