Location
In a woods just off of a cul-de-sac in New Berlin
Participants
Plans
hezekiah plans to arrive at the location around 4 PM, and may follow up with a not-quite-Pub Geohash at nearby Lee's Cleveland Bar and Grill while watching the Marquette and Wisconsin basketball games.
Expedition
After figuring out how to input coordinates as a destination, hezekiah talked his father Dave into accompanying him to their first geohash. Dave handled the driving, on the condition that stops were made at his childhood homes after reaching the hash. The drive itself was wholly unremarkable, but trekking through the brush was delayed for a few minutes while waiting to hear the result of Ohio State's basketball game. The GPS unit used appeared to be somewhat erratic, so it took a few minutes of traipsing around before it settled down and allowed for an accurate reading. During this time, hezekiah and Dave gathered some trash. The location was pinned down, pictures were taken, and then it was on to the Dave Nostalgia Tour. 3 houses later, the voyage was complete.
Photos
Passing over the freeway we're about to drive on
Still driving down
Almost there...
The time for bushwhacking is upon us at last
Not quite as thick as it seemed at first glance
Hooray, hezekiah's first successful geohash
The Grin, with some St. Patrick's Day beads
Admiring the lack of foliage around the point
Unfortunately, Dave was unable to extract himself from the surroundings
