Location

In a field in Malta, Illinois, U.S.A.

Participants

EvilUncleNomo and The Wife

Plans

EvilUncleNomo and The Wife are planning on attempting this geohash at Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m.. We haven't done any 'hashing in a long time, maybe because most of the targets in this graticule seem to be in boring fields in the middle of nowhere. This field however looks like it has wind turbines nearby so I could be a bit more interesting than usual.

Expedition

We found the field without difficulty. Also without asphalt, as the road changed from pavement to dirt and gravel a couple miles from the target. To say the field was a bit muddy would be like saying the Hulk is a bit upset. Fortunately, we were both wearing our geohashing boots. EvilUncleNomo displayed his courage and trudged out to the target. The Wife displayed her common sense and stayed by the car.

Photos

EvilUncleNomo successfully reached the target.
... in the muddiest field I've ever seen.
The Wife wisely stayed by the car.
... but she did make a snowman.
