About

This hash turned out to be in the middle of a corn field. Accessible via a small dirt path.

Expeditions

I was off today so I decided that I would finally attempt to actually make it to a hash. The coordinates for the Appleton graticule were a little far off for me to get to on the cheap, but Fond du Lac's site was more reasonable, so I went there instead. Dug out the GPS and the camera, fueled up Stella, and headed off. It was fairly windy today, which made it a little nerve wracking driving the scooter all the way out there, but I did manage to survive. This was my first time out that way, so I poked around Berlin a little and found a nice park by the river and took advantage of its soda machine. On my way out to the hashsite I ran across a (maybe) 2/3 scale X-Wing which I completely forgot to take a picture of. This was a pretty uneventful expedition, with the site being fairly accessible, not around anything of interest and with no one else showing up. It was a nice excuse to take a long ride on the scooter though, so it was worth it. --Mitchp
