Expedition

Upon arriving, there were many more people walking around the neighborhood than expected. I took my first picture between the third and fourth houses, where I remembered the geohash to be positioned. While checking on Peeron to make sure that I had correctly located the hash, the people who lived in those houses wanted to pull into their driveway. I was obligated to pull over onto a side road and check the picture, which wasn't even the picture of the hashpoint.

Remember how I said the hashpoint was in between the third and fourth houses? It wasn't. It was located between the second and third houses. I didn't notice this because of the positioning of the local shrubbery, which I remembered from planning. I was forced to scrap the original picture, drive around the street again, and take a new picture.

In the picture, you can see me trying to hold a Crox Poster. I say "trying" because at the moment I took the picture a crosswind started blowing the paper around. I had to try for three minutes to get the poster in the right field of view before I was satisfied, and went home.

The reason that I didn't just tape the poster to the ground or something is that everybody in the neighborhood was out watching me make a fool of myself. Since geohashing is mostly a law-abiding sport, I didn't want to leave a piece of paper just laying on the ground in view of everyone.

Even if this claim is disputed somehow, I drove up and down the road so many times that I must have hit the hash at some point.
