Location

In a grassy field next to the YMCA in Hudson, WI.

Participants

Plans

Kyrkazakh (talk): try out my first retro hash.

Expedition

After 2024-11-12 44 -92, I stopped by here on my way out of town. I knew (or strongly suspected) it would be gettable, so why not try retro hashing? Some folks seem to like it. I parked, walked over, snapped some photos, tarried for a bit, and returned to my car. Not all that exciting but it was a decent detour. Probably won't be doing much retro hashing in the future as the normal hashes' day-to-day novelty is an important factor in my enjoyment.

Side note: this building definitely wasn't here when the retro hash was current. Satellite view shows it was built in the 90s/00s. A strange consequence of time, eh?

Photos

Standard American community building. I hope you like brick.
Made it! Not hard.
Gotta make the V.
Love a good water tower.
Insert "the European mind cannot comprehend this" meme here.
