Location

A field near Batavia

Participants

Plans

This is on my way to work so I'll try to stop by.

Expedition

The point turned out to be in a muddy field about 200 meters off the road I take to work. It rained almost all day yesterday so I was really concerned about the mud and wore my hiking boots on the way so I could change out of them before starting work. I left about 30 minutes earlier than normal for work and parked at a golf academy place, then walked down the road slightly and down the side of the field to the hash. The mud wasn't as bad as I was fearing, so it was an easy walk and I found the hash right away. I don't like taking photos of my face so I brought a hashscot named Sylvie to supply the Stupid Grin for me.

Photos

Achievements

Tarasaurus earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (41, -88) geohash on 2023-01-04.
