Location

A farm field in Plainfield, IL

Participants


Expedition

Using the windbreak to cheat
A wild Rookiek13 appears.
A perilous journey

After checking the coordinates upon awakening, Rookiek13 texted Kiamx. The coordinates were only a few miles from her house! A short drive and a pirate costume later, we arrived at the field. The point appeared to be a few hundred meters in the field. Fortunately, there was a grass embankment seperating the fields that we could follow.


It had rained the day before and the ground was saturated. Not comfortable with entering the field, Kiamx opted to stay at the embankment while Rookiek13 charged on ahead. After losing her shoes a few times in the thick mud, Rookiek13 continued barefoot. A brief and muddy hashdance occured and the coordinates were reached! Kiamx took the celebratory picture of Rookiek13 and the hashscots, then we retreated to the car, off for a quick change of shoes and a victory feast.
