Location

Around back of the Exeter-West Greenwich Regional High School - again.

Participants

Vbob and
Bruce

Plans

Realized on Friday morning that this Saturday hash was going to be a glorious sunny day [I was wrong]; and that the hash was in an interesting public place where the opportunities for Drag-Along and/or already-happened-to-be-here were good [ I was half wrong]; so trying to organize a long-overdue meet up was worthwhile.... Except I'd forgotten my wiki password; Except that the wiki engine wouldn't send me a reset email; Even though it let me create a new account and new password; It wouldn't send the new me an email to authorize us to create an expedition page.....

So the word didn't get out, and the raw weather kept the [almost] interested bystanders at home; so partner and I went anyway....

Expedition

Drove there after a lobster lunch with inlaws, outlaws and grandsons. Expected to find some random student athletes using the fields behind the school, but we didn't see another soul. Did the geohash dance under the trees, and found the hash to land in the middle of a picnic table. We were hoping it would be somewhere on the flagstones of a small ampitheater, the center of which is marked with a very nice compass rose, but that was about 100' off the hash.
