Plans
I checked the geohash coordinates just before going to bed the night of the 24th and was quite excited to note that this day's geohash was only a few miles from my house - it was a Christmas miracle! As per usual, my plan was to bike.
Expedition
The trip went smoothly without incident. This being the Midwest, the ride was flat the whole way. I borrowed my brother's bike (as of yet unnamed, so we can call it Lambda), leaving around 11:35. I passed my ex high school and took the Green Bay Trail. I got to the hashpoint at noon, on a street with a nice view of the Skokie Lagoons. I took a few pictures then headed back home, arriving around 12:25.

A well, but no uncomfortable truths
Me at the hashpoint! (Ok, maybe the white balance is a bit off)
