Planning
After knocking off Slave Lake's geohash first thing in the morning, I'm going to bike back down highway 2 to town, grab a bite to eat, and then continue 52 km the other way. And then I'll create lasting peace in the Middle East. That's a plan. Not a good plan, but a bold plan.
Conclusion
The Slave Lake geohash that should have taken a couple of hours there and back took me six and a half freaking hours, so the multihash is cancelled for today.
