Plans

When I discovered this hash was available, I started making plans. I planned to bike to the hash, find the hash, and get back home again.

Expedition

This was successful! I biked to the hash in the cold weather. I was able to park my bike about 100 meters away from the hash, and I started heading into the woods.

I was lucky it was freezing cold, because it was freezing. There was a lot of mud and a stream between me and the hash, but it was all frozen over. Then, when I reached the hash, I discovered I had to climb a small hill made of dirt. I climbed to the top, and reached the hash!

On the way back, however, things did not go so well. Halfway home, the pedal on my bike fell off. I had to call a friend of mine to pick me up, because I was a long way from home. But I got the geohash.
