No plan: just a last-minute stop. It could hardly have been easier.
Expedition
My daughter had gymnastics practice tonight, in the building marked with the green arrow. This is about 26 miles (42 km) from my house. The red arrow marks the hashpoint.
The hashpoint is in the parking lot of the Kennedy Mall, in the lane that takes you from the gymnastics studio to the bookstore that we frequent. We have been this way a lot; my credit card statement shows that we definitely went to the bookstore on 25 July, which was the day of another gymnastics practice. I'm saying this is enough proof to claim the Déjà vu geohash achievement -- but I am unwilling to post the credit card statement online.
There was nothing to this one. We drove through the hashpoint a few times at speeds up to about 25mph (40 km/hr). I can't quite say that that's the legal limit, because this is one of the many parking lots that doesn't have a posted speed limit. Still, it's as close as I've come to the Speed racer achievement, so we'll make a ribbon for it.

We were going to Dubuque anyway for gymnastics practice.
Date and time, per spec
We're in the parking lot
Imagine that this shows our speedometer: 22 mph in the parking lot!
Then we went to Target to play with the security camera
