Location

On a sidewalk in North Aurora.

Participants

Plans

Stop by after work.

Expedition

This hash point happened to fall not far from the route I take to work, so after seeing it on my lunch break I planned to stop by on my way home. I rode my bicycle to work, so this would also become a Bicycle Geohash. It rained on the way, giving me hope of getting a Drowned Rat achievement, but the rain quickly let up and I dried out before reaching my turn for the point. As I neared I realized I was missing something, Sylvie my hashscot! So I rode the whole way home, dropped off my bag, grabbed Sylvie, and headed back to get the point.

It lay on a sidewalk on the entrance road to a subdivision, so it was super easy to find and very accessible. In no time at all, I found the geohash point, got a photo of Sylvie on my commuter bike, and made my way back home.
