Location

On the beach outside Monster (yes, that's the name of a town).

Participants

Expedition

Today's hash was in a convenient location right on the beach. I decided to go there after work, to find the hash and also to have a relaxing walk on the beach and get some fresh air. The weather was all right, about 15 degrees C with quite a breeze. When I got to the beach there were some people flying a quadcopter drone. It was amazing to see how stable and controllable it was with such winds.

I then walked about 900 metres to get to the hash. There were some people walking their dogs. And there were lots of seagulls. Once at the hash I made an XKCD marker in the sand and took some pictures. After that I walked back to the hashmobile and went home.

Photos

GPS proof.
X for XKCD, of course.
