A pleasant ride, followed by a short walk using a crappy smartphone GPS. The part worth to mention about this Geo Hash was that we (Jucks & Cem) drove from Pennsylvania to Montreal to visit a friend a day before on Friday.
Location
Today's location was a 45min ride from where we started. It was pretty much in the middle of a farm, a couple hundred meters off a country road.
Participants
- Jucks - Who finally got to his first GeoHash after wanting to do it for so long.
- Ipek - A fellow xkcd reader and a hashing enthusiast. Her first hash also.
- Cem - A friend of Jucks who was curious about Geo Hashing. His first hash.
Expedition
We planned on being there at 4pm, but ended up leaving home at that time. We bought beer and a frisbee for when we got there. The hash point was near a road, so we just drove there. The car GPS took us really close to our target point. After we found a place to leave the car, we continued on foot to the location, which was in the middle of a farm field. We threw a frisbee around a couple times and each drank our victory beers at the hash point.
