Expedition

After a 437 day dry spell (and over a year since even attempting an expedition), I finally had the geohash come to me, or at least 0.3 km away from me (as the crow flies). It was on the grounds of the Catholic church/school that I walk past often. After work and dinner that evening, I hopped on my own two feet and walked with the GPS to the soccer field. It was very easy to find, obviously!
