Plans

  • This one is less than a mile from my house. Also an opportunity for a frozen geohash. -- OfficeLinebacker (talk) 09:24, 28 March 2015 (EDT)

The plan is to drive there, park, walk to the hash, recording the experience.

Expedition

I drove around this Industrial park a bit and made a few wrong turns, but finally found a cul-de-sac type place to pull up and start exploring by foot. But a man named Eric came up to me and asked if he could help me. I said I was on an expedition and he said "oh like geocaching?" Whatever. Anyway they were having a big car wash event and he said I couldn't park there. So I parked a couple of blocks away and headed back in. This was marshland and I had to be careful to step on the high tufts of grass as opposed to the areas between because there were rivulets of semi-frozen water. Achieved the objective and hightailed it back to my car because the wind was blowing hard and it was 28 degrees! BRRR! As I walked up to my car I saw a man going down the line of fancy cars lined up for their car wash telling them the car was was cancelled because of freezing weather.
