[[User:Turbomagnus|turbomagnus]] 16:19, 30 January 2011 (EST): Along with my hashcot and a drag-along I was watching for the weekend, we pulled out of the driveway around twelve-thirty local time and made our way west to the hashpoint. Upon arrival at the location, pictures were taken of myself and hashcot, approximate location of the hashpoint itself, surrounding landmarks and geohashing marker (complete with rather embarassing spelling mistake. Mea culpa.). Evidence of humanity's presence was found in the form of a cold-weather glove left abandoned in the field next to the nearby monument to Florida's participation in the Battle of Chickamauga. Drag-along recieved an impromptu lesson on the history of the battlefield and associated ghost stories.

Location

In the middle of Lafayette Rd. near a Florida monument and some cannons in Chickamauga National Battlefield

Participants

Plans

turbomagnus 16:05, 30 January 2011 (EST): Not yet owning a GPS, my hashing abilities are limited, but as a regular visitor to Chickamauga and with such visible landmarks nearby, I was fairly certain that I wouldn't need one to come within a reasonable distance of the hashpoint.

Expedition

turbomagnus 16:19, 30 January 2011 (EST): Along with my hashcot and a drag-along I was watching for the weekend, we pulled out of the driveway around twelve-thirty local time and made our way west to the hashpoint. Upon arrival at the location, pictures were taken of myself and hashcot, approximate location of the hashpoint itself, surrounding landmarks and geohashing marker (complete with rather embarassing spelling mistake. Mea culpa.). Evidence of humanity's presence was found in the form of a cold-weather glove left abandoned in the field next to the nearby monument to Florida's participation in the Battle of Chickamauga. Drag-along recieved an impromptu lesson on the history of the battlefield and associated ghost stories.

Aforementioned geohashing marker was left in the form of 'XCKD' (sic. Silly me.) written on the edge of the road in white chalk.

Indirect return route took us through the battlefield where we experienced a mid-range encounter of the wildlife kind in the form of a small herd of deer in the woods on the side of one of the battlefield's secondary roads. Due to distance and traffic, only one picture proved viable, but provided proof that even in places you wouldn't expect it, you can still experience nature's touch.


Photos

  • Chibithulu the hashcot is the one without the Stupid Grin.

  • Approximate location of hashpoint

  • Monument to Florida's part in the Battle of Chickamauga.

  • And across the road, a row of cannons. Unfortunately, they don't work anymore...

  • I actually took the glove home with me.

  • The Drag-Along, seven years old, might as well get her started Geohashing early.

  • Four letters. You'd think I could remember what order they went, but no...

  • One of three deer we saw on the way out... If other cars hadn't been so loud and scared them off, we'd have had better pictures.
