Expedition
After a brief discussion on the Chicago graticule page, Mystrsyko and Haberdasher found that they could both reach the hashpoint in the early afternoon and agreed to meet at the suitably-vague time of "1ish".
Haberdasher decided to wear a Pokemon Trainer cosplay that day, for no particular reason, except perhaps that it was suitable to participate in two nerdy hobbies at once.
After a brief ride from the western suburbs, Haberdasher, her mother, and her grandmother arrived at the scene shortly after 1. Haberdasher, the only one of the group actually interested in geohashing, opened the car door and settled in for the typical GPS dance... only to find that, after choosing a basically-random parking spot, the hashpoint was right outside the car door! Hurrah! Pictures were taken, and though the GPS was fairly uncooperative and the wind made Haberdasher's selfies rather awkward and unattractive, all was well.
The group soon deduced that Mystrsyko had not yet arrived on the scene. Luckily, it was a beautiful summer day: not too warm, cloudy, and with a pleasant breeze. All three members of the group were content to sit in the car and chat, with Haberdasher occasionally poking around on the geohashing wiki and watching approaching cars.
Mystrsyko showed up on the scene, and Haberdasher recognized him and waved him over to their group and the hashpoint. The two took pictures of one another, co-opted Haberdasher's mother into taking pictures of them together, and talked a little bit about geohashing and related topics. The groups took off separately after hanging out by the hashpoint for a few minutes. A successful hash was had by all.
