Expedition

Here!!! -- Mischief @38.4887,-75.2120 17:45, 3 July 2012 (EDT)

Doing a little hashing while at the beach this one appeared to be in the middle of a corn field. After driving around to find and acceptable point of entry (and lamenting that it would be impossible to go for the Tron Achievement) we found a road that took us within about 1 km of the hash.

Disembarking our vehicle and proceeding on foot we tunneled through the corn field in pursuit of the hash. With spotty cell phone reception we had to stop often to make sure we were on track, and often ended up walking in circles. Finally we realized that walking through the corn was stupid and the hash was actually in the forest to our west anyway. Finally we banked the hash and headed home to bathe and burn ticks.

Victory!
