Location
Just inside a private back yard, on the other side of a fence from an accessible power line cut.
Participants
Expedition
The hash point was only a few miles away, so I rode my unicycle. Most of the route was familiar to me - it took me through a park I frequently ride to and in, and then a bit beyond into a neighborhood.
I hoped Google Maps wasn't quite right and that the hash point would be on the accessible side of the fence, but no such luck. I walked around the house to see if anyone was outside who I could ask for access. As luck would have it, someone pulled up just then. I briefly explained geohashing and asked if I could briefly visit their back yard and take a little video facing away from the house. They seemed on the fence initially, but politely declined when I mentioned taking video. In hindsight I should have just asked for access first and if they said yes *then* ask if photo and video were ok. C'est la vie.
On the way back I stopped to take some obligatory Bluebonnet photos. I also stopped in the park to practice juggling a little. I'd planned on doing it at the hash point for the circus achievement, but failing that figured I might as well still get some practice in.
