Location

Urban area in Cosquín city, a very popular and touristic spot.

Participants

Onicofago and Significant Other.

Plans

The idea was to have a relaxed trip by car, enjoying some beautiful views, and then reach the geohash by foot before it was too dark. A very light bit of research in Google Maps was previously made.

Expedition

After being bored and watching TV in the afternoon, me and SO decided to go and try this geohashing thing for the first time. After a 45 minutes trip by car, and having my reliable and all worn-out and outdoorsy GPS loaded with the hash coordinates I was confident my first adventure would be successful.

We drank mate all the way, enjoying a very beautiful sunset in the Sierras of our Córdoba province.

Thing is, we faced a Non Trespassing Sign in an urban area in Cosquín city... only 30 meters away from the geohash. So, better luck next time. Met three little kids playing with a dog, took a picture of the happy group. Dog's name was "Arturrro" according to one of the kids, which translates as "Arthurrrr".
