Plans

This was my first ever expedition! Also the first ever in my graticule, and third ever in Lithuania. It's in a field around 30 meters of a dirt road(which at the geohash is practically just a long driveway), it does seem that the hash is in viewing range of at least 1 homestead, so I made sure to pack a cover story and the dissapointment of not getting a cool achievement along with a pillow to fill my suspiciously empty backpack.

Expedition

After biking on the asphalt road for a while I turned onto a gravel one, from which I turned again onto the dirt road. Thankfully I wasn't visible to the homestead that I was worrying about, but less thankfully I was clearly visible from the(quite beautifully maintained) backyard of another house that I thought from the map was separated from me by a dense line of trees. So I went into the field, which was celarly mowed recently. After walking to the geohash point and taking a couple photos I immediatly started biking back as like I said, I couldn't really do any cool achievements somewhere like this(for some reason slushie vendors don't open locations in random fields in rural Lithuania for some reason). When going back there was a strange sense that I'd left something behind, but I brought so little that would actually be difficult to do, but when I was already on the asphalt road I realised that I'd forgotten to screenshot the coordinates, I thought it was to late to go back so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the internet believes that I was in the correct part of the field.
