Expedition
This one was just across town, and I'd had the urge to go geohashing for a while; my GPS is MIA, but this hash looked accessible enough without it, so off we went!
After a bit of futzing with my phone's maps, the two of us parked in the first visitor parking, which was metered. AshtaraSilunar fed the meter, and then Haberdasher fed it more for good measure, leaving us with substantially more time on the meter than was really needed. (Though, given that this was in small-town Arkansas, the total cost was still less than a dollar for over an hour of time.) After consulting a campus map, we found that the parking spot we'd chosen happened to be just down the street from the hashpoint, an easily walkable distance.
As we approached the hashpoint, we began speculating on which of the parking spots held the hashpoint; Haberdasher, who'd prepared the Google Maps print-outs, remembered the parking spot being an orangish color rather than the usual gray of pavement, which narrowed down the possibilities. We counted the parking spots and found that it was in fact a blocked-off space not meant for cars to park in, but there seemed to be no restrictions on foot traffic. Haberdasher ran around the spot exuberantly, we stopped for pictures, and back we went. It honestly couldn't have been much easier.
