Swensonj can go more or less any time. Is anyone else interested?
Update
Success!
Expedition
This was the first stop on a two-part pseudomultihash. Swensonj's wife was nice enough to take the kids to a museum, so that Swensonj could spend a little extra time hashing with his dad and brother.
We left Minneapolis at 1:00 p.m., with a route carefully planned to earn the Tron achievement and the Origin geohash achievement as well as visiting the daily hash for Minneapolis SW, Minnesota. This first leg of the trip was quite easy: almost all highway driving. It was no trouble to drive right up to the hashpoint: it was next to a bush in the front yard of a suburban home, right near Shakopee High School. We tracked an XKCD marker in the snow. No one came out to ask what we were doing.
At this point we were close enough that it was not insane to continue to 1977-02-25 44 -93, to attempt the Origin geohash achievement.

We visited the right location...
...on the right date...
...and it was cold.
The hash was in the front yard of this house.
This is their bush, which you can see in the Google Maps satellite image.
My brother didn't know I was taking this picture of him from the hashpoint.
This is me at the hashpoint, trying to look into the sun. Note awesome XKCD T-shirt: a Christmas gift from my brother!
Here's our invisible XKCD marker...
...and a guide to where the marker was.
Here's our full route for the Tron achievement!
Shakopee, Minnesota is a fun place. Here is Canterbury Park, a horse racing track.
Shakopee is also home to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, as well as Valleyfair, an amusement park not seen here.
