Expedition

I'd had a run of bad luck with reaching coordinates lately, so when today's coordinates looked very reachable, I decided I had to go for it. I invited a friend who has expressed some interest in geohashing in the past to come with me.

The expedition itself was unremarkable, as expeditions to easy coordinates often are. I picked up my friend at his house, we drove out and were able to park within 200ft of the coordinates, and it was an easy walk along the edge of a field with very young alfalfa growing in it to reach the hash. We had to walk right to the very edge of where the crop was growing to reach the point. Once there, we snapped a few pictures for proof, and then headed back into town to grab dinner. All in all it was a pleasant, if unspectacular, evening.
