Location

In a patch of woods near Wilmington, Illinois, U.S.A.

Participants

EvilUncleNomo and The Wife

Plans

EvilUncleNomo and The Wife are planning on attempting this geohash after work today. After the thunderstorm last night, we could be walking into another swamp. If my 4 p.m. meeting runs late, we could arrive at the target after dark. Best we bring boots and flashlight, I think.

Expedition

This seemed like a good idea this morning when it was bright and sunny out, but now it's dark and gloomy and threatening to rain. After a short discussion, The Wife and I have decide to try again for the Leap geohash achievement in 2016.
