Expedition:
 
As always, the best laid plans go awry.  We packed our fanny packs, laid out our clothes and went to bed early with the intention of getting up at 4am. Yes, Yes, I can hear you snickering now. 
 
 
 
Well bedtime was close to midnight anyway and then we woke up late at 5am. The launch was scrubbed!  So now I was awake and no where to go. Upon further checking the geohash coords it landed in the middle lane of a five lane section of highway!
 
 
 
being resourceful, i noticed that the nearest named street was "Arabian nights way".  Aha! That tourist attraction has a fairly obvious advertisement on the edge of the highway.
 
 
 
we found a new place to breakfast at, went to disney world and snapped a pic as we passed over the geohash.  A fairly tame and somewhat successful first ever geohash expedition.
