Location

Right smack dab in the middle of a Burlington City resident's backyard.

Participants

Mischief
P.K.

Expedition

Pumped for another geohash I learned that today is pi day, and thus have the opportunity to bank the Pie Geohash achievement. P.K. and I, equipped with a freshly baked pie, head out for the hash. Unfortunately it was in the backyard of a very nice suburban home. The owner of which wasn't too keen on letting strangers on an "internet scavenger hunt" into his backyard to take pictures. After an intensely awkward conversation neither of us really had the stomach for pie and headed back, defeated.

Maybe next year Pi Day.
