Location

The location of the geohash was on Fisher Crescent, just off of Radford Drive, in a suburb of Ajax.

Participants

Splitdipless

Plans

Splitdipless

This one is just in the next city over from where my work is. I'll pay a visit by car tonight.

Expedition

Splitdipless

I was working at the office quite late, but as the point was very close, I didn't have to spend much time on it. Plus, it was very cold so I tried to get to the point, take a few snaps and get back into a warm car as quick as possible. Being on the street, I could have gone for another Speed Racer, but I didn't. Getting out of the car, there were a surprising number of people out for walks that evening. I may have looked strange pacing out into the middle of the street with a GPS and camera, but no-one asked what I was doing. Maybe I should have asked other people to join me... nah.

Photos

Success, Check.
Picture of geohash location, Check.
Other picture of something near the Geohash, but has nothing to do with Geohashing, Check.
Silly grin. Kinda. Check.

Achievements

Splitdipless earned the Last Man standing achievement

by being the the only hasher world-wide to go on a geohashing expedition on 2010-12-09.
