Location

Sidewalk in Cleveland Park, D.C., just off Wisconsin Avenue.

Participants

Fillmore

Plans

A longtime xkcd fan, I downloaded the geohashing app for kicks a few weeks ago. When I saw this Sunday's point would be less than 1.5 miles from where I live in D.C., there was no excuse not to score my first hash.

Expedition

Hopped the #96 bus. (Didn't think to get a picture of the bus, sadly. Next time...) Got off at Wisconsin and Newark and walked less than 5 minutes. Hashpoint was right on the sidewalk. Celebrated with enchiladas at the nearby Cactus Cantina.

Tracklog

Photos

The hashpoint. @38.9356,-77.0722
