Liberian drove over from the neighboring Crestview graticule in an effort to get the Multihash award. (He didn't get to the Crestview meetup location either.)
After a very nice drive up SR 87 and along US 90, Liberian drove through beautiful downtown Milton and turned right to go out the Munson Highway. A mile or two out the Munson Highway brought him to the appropriate "cross" street (really a bit of a loop) and he turned onto it. Alas! The meet-up location was 110 feet behind a barbed-wire fence in a goat pasture.
As Liberian was photographing his GPS unit to show that he had at least made the attempt, a friendly local driving by on a tractor asked him why he was photographing the ground. He explained that he was photographing his GPS unit and started the Geohashing Explanation ("There's this game where you throw a dart at a map and then try to get to where it lands."). The passerby laughed and went merrily on his way.
Some people count coming within 150 feet as "getting there," but Liberian is not one of them. This counts as an Unsuccessful Attempt.
