This was my first geohash, and it turned out to be a pretty good one. After packing the essentials and armed with my trusty Droid Incredible, I hopped in the Sciencemobile (read: my dad's aquamarine Prius) and drove about 60 miles from Boston to Pascoag. The place was kind of hard to find, it ended up being an unmarked dirt path off of a 3 mile long back country road. The trek to the hash was fairly long and uneventful, the only person I ran into was a guy out for a drive with his dog in the parking lot. After reaching the end of the trail I trekked through the underbrush for about 20 minutes I managed to find the hashpoint. After dropping a marker and taking some pictures I went back to the Sciencemobile and headed over to a local Wendy's for a delicious Baconator (hells yeah). All in all it was a good day. | This was my first geohash, and it turned out to be a pretty good one.

Expedition
This was my first geohash, and it turned out to be a pretty good one. After packing the essentials and armed with my trusty Droid Incredible, I hopped in the Sciencemobile (read: my dad's aquamarine Prius) and drove about 60 miles from Boston to Pascoag. The place was kind of hard to find, it ended up being an unmarked dirt path off of a 3 mile long back country road. The trek to the hash was fairly long and uneventful, the only person I ran into was a guy out for a drive with his dog in the parking lot. After reaching the end of the trail I trekked through the underbrush for about 20 minutes I managed to find the hashpoint. After dropping a marker and taking some pictures I went back to the Sciencemobile and headed over to a local Wendy's for a delicious Baconator (hells yeah). All in all it was a good day.
