Expedition

This was my first expedition. I didn't have a way to get to the official hash, so I improvised. I used a point in a .05*.05 box: (34.527796 -110.103446). It turned out to be 6.5 km away. Even though none of it counts for anything official, I still did a few achievement like things.

I traveled there by bicycle. Because I didn't have a GPS, and I took only the most rudimentary hand drawn map, when I got out into the boonies I got a bit confused about which dirt roads to take. Somehow I managed to find my way to a stopping spot that turns out to have been about 100 m away from my target.

I found a dump site near where I stopped. I had to crawl under a gate to get to my spot.

I left the "Internet Was Here" sign, took some pictures, and ate some food.

The view: I could see a lot of nothing. I could see a long ways, but it was mostly barren.

I had an awesome time! It was quite enjoyable! Geohashing is such a brilliant idea. I am looking forward to doing official expeditions.
