According to my usual ritual, around ten o'clock I checked the hashpoint for the day, usually lamenting being in one corner and it being in one of the others. This time, though, it was within a few km of my workplace! I'd told my boss a little bit about it, and he was in. Working in the health care industry, it was hard to find a break in time to go. Eventually, we found a lull and went for it--one patient with a timed treatment that it wouldn't hurt if it went a couple extra minutes. I stood on the exact location. One picture of me, one picture of my boss, and two reference for the location. We put in five minutes margin of error for the trip...and came back to find the timer at exactly five minutes.

-The hash was located in a suburban neighborhood, right on someone's front walk.  They weren't home at the time, and nobody else was around, so we ([[User:Moderndayknight|Moderndayknight]] and my boss) figured we could just get the hash and get out.
