Maybe an Expedition report will arrive someday

Here's the text from Alex's user page:

I finally got around to visiting a geohash, courtesy a Couch-Potato honorable mention location, 569 meters from my front door, in the middle of a less-than-exciting suburban development lawn. And on foot, imagine that!

Just for kicks, this was done without batteries, with location pinpointed based on a tree and the 2 smokestacks of the building just to the north, and at midnight (arriving at the location some time between 12:00am and 12:02am: sans batteries, and sans flashlight, I could not see my watch).

This user earned the Couch Potato Geohash Honorable Mention

by living near the (40, -74) geohash on 2009-06-24.

AlexF earned the Walk geohash Achievement

by reaching the (40, -74) geohash on 2009-06-24 on foot, travelling a distance of 1138 meters.

AlexF earned the No Batteries Geohash Achievement

by reaching the (40, -74) geohash on 2009-06-24.

AlexF earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (40, -74) geohash on 2009-06-24.

AlexF earned the Midnight Geohash achievement

by reaching the (40, -74) geohash on 2009-06-24 in the middle of the night.
