Location

On the grounds of Lincoln High School

Participants

ChrisG

Plans

Did my usual check during the day to see if there's anything nearby for the weekend, and finally - a Geohash in Rhode Island that's not far, and in a publicly accessible location. My only problem? I wasn't supposed to have my car - Wifeygirl has plans with friends tonight. Didn't think I was going to make it.

Expedition

Well, it actually worked out. I dropped Wifeygirl off to meet her friends, and kept the car for myself. (I'll have to pick her up later).

The drive to Lincoln was as uneventful as ever - under 15 minutes, and no traffic. Got to the hash, prepared the picture, and for whatever reason, couldn't upload the pic on the spot with coordinate stamp. Spent a few minutes near the tennis courts, then went on my way to run errands.

Since I was in Lincoln, took a trip to Target to get a Fathers Day card, and grabbed takeout from the new Five Guys burgers. Ate the fries on the ride, then enjoyed the burger once I got home.

Oddly, of the three geohashes I've completed, two of them have been on the grounds of a high school. I wonder if there's an achievement for that.
