Location

The roof of a building right next door to a 7-11 and less than three miles from my hotel!

Participants

RocketMac

Plans

I was scheduled to drive down today to work in St. Louis (Clayton) for the rest of the week.

Expedition

Yesterday my client cancelled the trip and it's been moved to all of next week.

I wasn't looking forward to the trip anyway, but to move from three days (plus travel) to a whole week with weekend travel is annoying.

Out of curiosity I still checked Peeron and found that today's hashpoint:

Is reachable (within a few feet)
Is in a new graticule to me
Would have been a level 5 Squishy

GAH!

Achievements

RocketMac earned the Train wreck consolation prize

by failing to reach the (38, -90) geohash on 2012-09-18 because my trip was cancelled.
