Winter arrives in Minnesota... -10 C without wind, -17 C with wind.

Location

In a cornfield north of Spring Valley, MN.

Participants

Kyrkazakh (talk)

Plans

Kyrkazakh (talk): Back in the saddle, and by the saddle I mean a Kia Sorento! Popping over after an appointment.

Expedition

Kyrkazakh (talk): Success! I saw the coords got released and within an hour and a half I was driving towards the site. High winds today especially out in the fields. This hash site was slightly inside a cornfield, but the only land being farmed/harvested this time of year is the winter wheat (and even then they're basically done). So hypothetically popping in and popping out wouldn't hurt anyone or damage any property. Coords were reached, photos were taken. I was fascinated by the discarded corncobs, frozen to the detritus-covered ground in each row. They would make good fuel for a campfire, if they weren't frosted by solid water. Back to the car and to warmth, thank goodness. It's starting to get biting cold around here. Soundtrack for today was early Ok Go, particularly "Invincible".

Photos

Made it.
Cold cold cold cold
The fields lie shaven.

Passed by a Boy Scout camp I used to stay at when I was still a Scout and still a Boy!

Achievements

Kyrkazakh earned the Frozen Geohash Achievement

by reaching the (43, -92) geohash on 2024-11-29 while the temperature was -17°C, including wind chill.

This is also my easternmost and southernmost expedition so far, but I can't be bothered to figure out the gratuitous ribbon for that.
