This hash was pretty easy. On the way back from a family friend's house, not far into a yard, and it gave us an excuse to drive by some pretty houses. No GPS was used, just the image and directions from Google Maps. A car was directly over what appeared to be the hashpoint- likely the same car over it in the Google Maps pictures- but I was able to get close enough to call this expedition a success.

Expedition

This hash was pretty easy. On the way back from a family friend's house, not far into a yard, and it gave us an excuse to drive by some pretty houses. No GPS was used, just the image and directions from Google Maps. A car was directly over what appeared to be the hashpoint- likely the same car over it in the Google Maps pictures- but I was able to get close enough to call this expedition a success.
