Expedition
- Just arrived; cannot make it before the 3:00 trail ride leaves. Best of luck to Anniepoo on this fun geohash! -- Thomcat @37.3649,-121.9230 14:16, 27 January 2013 (PST)
AAargh - long after the event I'm writing this tale of woe. Couldn't do it before this.
The night before I drove the RV to South SF to pre-position.
Discovered about 1pm that the point wasn't on a hiking trail, but on a horse trail. And I could rent a horse! Beast of BURDEN, HERE I COME.
Waited as long as I could for Thomcat, discovered he was arriving in SJ, had to go on alone.
Drove north following the GPS - very bad move. Took the wrong fork at the confusing 1/101 split and the GPS obediently rerouted me through San Anselmo! I didn't realize it for a bit, and ended up struggling to get my vehicle up the hills in the back woods.
Had to give up and turn around. That made it way too late to get to the hash point before they closed.
What a frustrating, stupid way to blow a very simple, very very fun hash! Anniepoo (talk) 16:53, 2 March 2013 (EST)
