Expedition

LuxMundi

Spent the morning at ATL getting my badge (to do construction there). Got to love gov't bureaucracy! Since I live so close to the airport, I always have to shuttle visitors around, but now, they will expect me to meet them at the gate and carry their bags, too.

This hash was too close to the airport, not to attempt it. The hashpoint is in a cleared area for power lines. I accessed the point through yet another empty lot in an unfinished subdivision. The ground was wet, but not really muddy, no problems scrambling down the bank and picking up the Birthday Geohash.
