This hash looked like it would be withing pretty easy bike distance, so I decided that after I finished work at 5pm I would change clothes and bike out to the point. However, as things tend to go in life, that didn't work out as planned. I was stuck at work until 6:20pm, and just as I left for home my phone went off letting me know of a severe thunderstorm warning issued by the National Weather Service. As much as I wanted to get a [[Drowned Rat Geohash|Drowned Rat]] acheivement, a storm strong enough to draw a warning from the NWS is not something one should be outside in, so I decided to delay my departure until it had passed.

This delay actually worked out in my favor. It gave [[User:Dolphintreasure|DolphinTreasure]] a chance to go, and we decided to drive instead of bike so we wouldn't have to worry about the storms in the area. Despite getting turned around once, we made our way to the area near the point and parked the car at a nearby gas station. The storm that had drawn the warning had since died, and we were in a nice little area surrounded by storms but without any overhead. Not having to fear lightning (yet), we made our way into the empty lot, which was quite muddy and gave Dolphintreasure trouble with her shoes. Finding the point was pretty easy given it was in an empty field, and I took some photos of the area before we headed back to the car.

Location

In what appears to be an empty lot at the corner of Archer Elevator Rd and Yucan Dr, in Springfield

Participants

Plans

Bike out there in the evening after I leave work, probably after 6pm

Expedition

This hash looked like it would be withing pretty easy bike distance, so I decided that after I finished work at 5pm I would change clothes and bike out to the point. However, as things tend to go in life, that didn't work out as planned. I was stuck at work until 6:20pm, and just as I left for home my phone went off letting me know of a severe thunderstorm warning issued by the National Weather Service. As much as I wanted to get a Drowned Rat acheivement, a storm strong enough to draw a warning from the NWS is not something one should be outside in, so I decided to delay my departure until it had passed.

This delay actually worked out in my favor. It gave DolphinTreasure a chance to go, and we decided to drive instead of bike so we wouldn't have to worry about the storms in the area. Despite getting turned around once, we made our way to the area near the point and parked the car at a nearby gas station. The storm that had drawn the warning had since died, and we were in a nice little area surrounded by storms but without any overhead. Not having to fear lightning (yet), we made our way into the empty lot, which was quite muddy and gave Dolphintreasure trouble with her shoes. Finding the point was pretty easy given it was in an empty field, and I took some photos of the area before we headed back to the car.
