Location

Near Anchor Lake, on the property line between two houses.

Participants

Expedition

I was at school and checked the Geohash for today, and lo and behold, it was in my town! Easy trip for today, and work could be put off for such a noble endeavour.

I noted the location, and I would be embarking as soon as I possibly could. I printed out a fresh ambassador sheet, as it is easier to explain things to the people around here with written aids. Did I mention that it was only three miles from where I was? So close to a couch potato, but yet so far. I don't yet have a GPS, so we'd have to rely on the great Google maps and Geohash Droid for our accuracy, and that means no tracklog, so you'll have to trust me. This would be my first true geohash, I made one earlier, but it was for a different date, thereby nullifying it. We followed the coordinates through the roads, until they led us to two houses.

Both houses had many dogs, & I'm a little nervous about dogs. I pressed on, and upon approaching one of the houses, a wizened old man came out to greet us, & I kindly explained about the game and showed him the passport. He let us go, and we trekked the last 100 feet to the spot, where I took some photos, including the grin, but my accomplice would like to remain nameless for the time being.

I believe today would constitute an ambassador achievement. Now alas, I must get to work, and give my android a rest for now. Today truly was exciting!
