Expeditions

Geohashers in Attendance

The Chase

Once again Mr. Bow Tie and Woodveil had joined forces in the name of Geohashing. We checked the coordinates on Friday and hatched our plan. We knew the point in the Jacksonville, Fl graticule would be unreachable due to fence lines so we didn't even bother with it. Instead we made plans to do a little minesweeping and take a graticules virginity in the process. Bonus!

Note: To fully appreciate this failure, I suggest reading my past attempts.

 === The Chase ===
-I was aware of the location Friday evening, but didn't seriously consider going until 8:30 Sunday morning. I was alone this time and was prepared to finally reach a hash. The point was near Cecil Field in what looked like a wooded area off of a recently built road. I had to make a run to my classroom to collect my GPS and camera for documentation purposes, but was on my way right at 9 AM. The drive was very nice. I got to see a part of town I had never seen before and there was almost no traffic. Score! Around 9:30 AM I saw something in the distance. My heart sank. I cursed a little. It was yet another roadblock. Blast! Foiled again. In respect for the law I took some pictures, got back in my car, and sulked all the way home. There's always next time.
