Location

Anderson Road between Catalina Drive and F Street, North Davis.

Participants

Plans

This hash is just 1.7 miles away from where I live. I will go tomorrow, and try to bring friends for the drag along.

Expedition

When I checked on the coordinate calculator, I saw that the geohash point was only 1.7 miles away. This is the closest that it's ever been to me, so I felt that it was imperative that I go.

I immediately asked my friends if they wanted to go. Surprisingly, 2 of them said yes, and asked their roommate to come along. (I have not posted any pictures of them online, upon their request). We all decided to meet up at Northstar Park, just 155 meters from the hashpoint. Half of us walked (including me), and half biked.

Once at the park, we had a picnic, satisfying the Picnic Achievement. They are better cooks than I am, and probably will be.

After that we went to the hashpoint. It was in the middle of the road on Anderson. After annoying all of the drivers, we managed to get to the hashpoint. Then we took pictures and went our respective ways. I went to explore further the bike paths of North Davis, and to see the weird Domino Sculpture.
