Expedition
It's been WAY too long since I've last attempted a hash. The last time I wrote up a report was almost a year ago. On a whim I checked the coordinate calculator Saturday night, and saw that the hashpoint was extremely close to everything. It was just one mile from my house, so I could easily get there. I had planned to bike, but it was too windy. Thankfully, since this place was so convienently located, I was able to take the bus there! The bus stop was close to the hashpoint (~0.1 miles). After I exited the bus, I walked down Russell Boulevard towards the hashpoint.
Now is the time where I should mention that I just got an iPhone (yeah, I know). As a result, I can no longer use Geohash Droid. I found a geohash app, but it isn't as accurate as the amazing Android application. It doesn't tell me how close I am, beyond tenths of a mile. As I recall, successful geohashes require me to be within 50 feet of the hashpoint. So, I had to guess.
I could tell on Google Maps that the hashpoint was behind the Pi Kappa Alpha frat house. Being someone who was spending a Sunday afternoon geohashing, I felt I didn't belong in such a place. At this point, I noticed a sign that read "Elm Street." Instead of being an actual road, it appeared to simply be a gravel driveway. Upon closer look, there was a small paved path that was only big enough for pedestrians and bikes. I entered the path, and exited on a different street, called Elmwood Drive. Why Davis city planners decided to connect Elm and Elmwood remains a mystery to me. Elmwood Drive is a quiet street, as opposed to the arterial Rusell Blvd. I went to a small cul-de-sac close to the hashpoint, and took my picture there.
Photos
On the bus!
At the hashpoint!
The closest I got to the hashpoint.
The photo editor was being weird, so I instagrammed the other photos! http://instagram.com/p/jGZnDdR-oe/# (Frat house) http://instagram.com/p/jGZKykR-oP/# (That cool path)
