Being my father's Birthday, I was already planning on driving into the city to have dinner at my parents. Now I would have a tighter schedule, but I could drive through the Geohash on my way. Looking at the satellite pictures, I didn't think I would be able to park there so it would have to be a drive-thru. I've never been down that section of road before, but I knew there really wasn't much over there so there shouldn't be much traffic. Maybe I could even stop in the middle of the road if there was no one around...

Getting close to quitting time, I made sure to get the dogs ready so I could leave right away. I knew the way, so I just needed to get there, but ran into some heavy traffic on the way. Getting past there, I was easily able to find and drive down Kenmore and started the HashDroid app. There wasn't anyone close to me, but someone was driving far behind me. As I approached the hash, I was able to slow down, but couldn't stop. I saw the distance drop, but didn't go lower than 13 feet or so. I was able to grab a screenshot, but being in the middle of the road, I definitely drove through it.

Since I was using the HashDroid app, I couldn't get my speed at the same time, so I didn't worry about that. I was hoping my slower speed would allow me to get a better reading than 16 feet, but it'll work. Continuing to drive, I was able to hit the camera (power button twice so I didn't have to look) and got a shot looking down Kenmore (after the hash). At the red light, I got a Stupid Grin picture and then continued on to my parents.

This turned into the Start of a Consecutive Hash and tomorrow's hash can be found here.
