Location

A small parking lot at the corner of Russel Cave and Park Place in Lexington, KY.

Participants

Just me, CaptainSpam.

Plans

The plan was simple: I needed to test a completely revamped version of Geohash Droid. In lieu of having to do field debugging in the wilds of central Kentucky, I decided to wait for something... easier. Less-dangerous, I should say. This hash has taught me that, in the near future, I will need a feature in my app to notify me if the hashpoint is near where I work/live/travel, as I realized it was there too late to go there on the day it actually happened. Thus, this became a retro hash.

Expedition

  • So, I needed a good test hash point for the wiki feature in the revamped Geohash Droid (and to fix the broken feature in the existing version). And wouldn't you know it, one popped up a half mile from where I work! I'm a day late, sure, but it beats making a bogus expedition page and asking the admins to delete it later. Let's see if it works! -- CaptainSpam (talk) @38.0686,-84.4817 15:01, 12 November 2015 (EST)

Photos

  • The 455 Park Place building on the corner of Russell Cave and Park in Lexington, KY. Taken from the hash point. @38.0685,-84.4816

  • There's not much here, to be honest. An empty, lonely parking lot near a small business center I'm not sure anyone uses anymore. @38.0685,-84.4816

  • With any luck, I'll come back to my browser and see a well-formed wiki page with my pictures in it. With no luck, well, back to debugging... @38.0685,-84.4816
