Location
On a side road in Laste, a neighbourhood in eastern Trento.
Participants
Plans
My first geohash ever took place on the day after the day I discovered geohashing- close to home, fairly reachable, everything perfect. Then a streak of bad luck happened, with unreachable hashes when I had lots of time on my hands and fairly reachable goals when I was away all day. Tomorrow's hash is hardly a kilometer from my home. It is probably as close as I will ever get to a Couch Potato Achievement, probably!
So I don't really have plans- I can leave home pretty much whenever I want, it's not going to take me more than 30 minutes. It doesn't even feel like exploring!
I'll bring a GPS this time, to bring home some achievements for the first time (hopefully).
Expedition
It was scorching hot all day long in Trento today, so I decided to leave my expedition to the evening hours. At 7pm the temperature was nowhere close to the one I hoped, but I felt like going anyways
After just five minutes of walking I was reminded of one of life's important lessons: if you haven't charged your devices in a while, they will eventually run out of battery. My GPS died when I could still see my home. Good thing Google pictures were fairly clear and I knew exactly where the hashpoint was.
After another five minutes I understood that wearing the only black shirt I own was just as brilliant as going on a quest with an unloaded GPS. Once again, the fact that the hash was close to my house helped me a lot.
I arrived there, took some pictures and headed back without spending there more time than necessary. If I were in a The Sims sort of game, my hygiene bar would have been drastically red in that moment.
On my way home, I noticed a pair of abandoned panties on the sidewalk, which made for a last WTF moment before getting back.
Photos
Walking to the hashpoint, nice view.
There we go! The hash is between these houses.
This reminded me of that Charlie the Unicorn door.
One last time, the hashpoint. Thanks to my awesome GPS charging skills, I wasn't able to locate the exact point.
Rather than a stupid grin, a "the heck am I doing here grin". Wasn't really intended to come this way, but whatever.
Last but not least, the aforementioned panties on the ground.
