Location

A parking lot in Kenosha, Wisconsin

Participants

Plans

After Dedehawk got off of work, we'd head to Kenosha for level seven Minesweeper!

Expedition

It's a nice, 45 degrees Fahrenheit day, so what do you do? Go hashing? Nope!

Instead, you stay home and think about homework and the growing number of deadlines. And work. You think about work, too. Then, when you've finished most of your homework, you check your hashes and realize that tonight is the perfect night to get a level seven minesweeper. So you drop everything and drive to Kenosha.

At first, it was only going to be Bassoon and Dedehawk, but then Kuderererer and Jessie signed on for some hashing fun. We left around 8 PM and headed out to Kenosha on I-94 East. Night had already fallen, so it was a rather uninteresting, uneventful drive. There are lots of semis on I-94 on a Sunday night.

Because it was so nice out, when we arrived at the hash, we had taken off our coats. Jessie had taken off her shoes. Both these decisions proved to be mistakes later when Bassoon had problems collaborating with the camera to make things work.

The hash was in the parking lot of some sort of insurance company. Bassoon pulled the car into a parking space and everyone went for the hash. After a few minutes of standing awkwardly about while Bassoon swore at the camera for its insubordination, everyone decided that it wasn't really that nice out, even though it had been below zero the week before. By the time the hash was found and the requisite pictures were taken, Jessie's feet had turned black from the asphalt and everyone had goosebumps.

After hashing, everyone piled into the car and went back home. Level seven Minesweeper achieved!
