Location

On the front drive of the new headquarters for Scentsy, which is under construction.

Participants

Eldin

Plans

To ride my bicycle to the hash point, as showed the uncommon combination of being within reasonable bicycle distance, and looking to probably be reachable.

Expedition

Rode my bicycle to the coordinates. Parts of the ride were a bit nerve-wracking, as they were along busy, high-speed streets without bike lanes, but I arrived without incident. At the hash point I took some pictures. The place looks like it will be rather nice once they finish construction. After I finished, I rode a few more miles to check out tomorrow's hash point, and verified that it should be reachable. All in all, I rode a bit over 10 miles on today's expedition.

Reached the coordinates for my 1st bicycle geohash! -- Eldin (talk) @43.6110,-116.3559 14:46, 20 April 2013 (MDT)

Tracklog

A tracklog was recorded. I'll link it if I ever post it online.

Photos

The hash point.
The bicycle.
The grin.
Building under construction beside hash point.
Decorative water feature beside hash point.
