Expedition

Kyrkazakh (talk): Saw the geohash on my way back into town after a few days out doing fieldwork. Seemed like a unique opportunity so I messaged the 2 other MN geohashers (how exciting it is to have folks around here to do this with)! It was definitely eerie seeing the State Fairgrounds outside of the days when the Great Minnesota Get-Together descends upon Falcon Heights — but there were construction crews renovating the buildings, so it wasn't too quiet. Speaking of which: the CATTLE BARN, featuring the MOO BOOTH. (See photos below.) coyotebush and I stood around doing our worst impression of a dead drop before Care uh met us there and gave us a veneer of official-adjacent-ness that I think helped. So we managed to get to the hash site with no subsequent trouble. Stuck around for a while and chatted, great to meet both of them in person!! Looking forward to future hashes.

coyotebush: Lovely day for a bike ride across town. The east side of the building was loosely fenced in but actual construction work was occurring on the next building over. Great to meet you Kyr, and very cool to have a 3-way meetup.

Care uh: Looking forward to meeting up with these two again, cool folks. :)

Photos

Caught a moment of free time to go meet up with Kyr and Coyotebush to get this hash. Definitely no trespassing occurred here and we were all definitely wearing appropriate PPE.
Photo creds to Kyrkazakh! Just some cool people doing cool people things.
GIANT COW STATUE. MOO BOOTH.
Cool construction things going on, but not one of the projects I've worked on.
One of the selfies of all time.
