Location

In a green space in South Beaverton Neighborhood

Participants

Jim

Plans

Go by in the evening on my way home

Expedition

I set out for the hashpoint, then realized I needed to program the GPS.

I stopped and dug in my bag for the GPS.

Twice.

Checked everything in there. No GPS.

I finally decided I must have forgotten to put it back in when I changed the rapidly fading batteries.

So I set out on a "No batteries" geohash with only Google Maps to guide me. I got to across the road from the hashpoint which seemed to be 33 feet, so I crossed the street and figured I was close enough.

So I headed for home.
