Participants

Plans

Stopping by sometime: probably not at 4pm, though, because I'm planning to see the Nutcracker in Mineral Point. If successful, I'll finish the regional geohashing achievement for Lafayette County, Wisconsin.

Expedition

This one was very easy, right on the shoulder of a dead-end road running east from Cuba City, Wisconsin. The hash turned out to be at the end of a gravel driveway, but we didn't get there until after dark, so I can't say much else about it, except that the view would have been better in the daytime.

My son stayed in the van, asleep, but my daughter and I braved the cold (34^oF=1^oC) to get a few photos. It was a good adventure.

Photos

We were really there!
I took a picture of my daughter, up past her bedtime...
And she took one of me. [You can tell that my hands were freezing.]
The view would have been better in daylight.

Achievements

SwensonJ earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (42, -90) geohash on 2012-12-08.

SwensonJ earned the Regional geohashing achievement

by reaching a hash point in all 2 graticules belonging to Lafayette County, Wisconsin.
