Expedition

Success! Gwynnath and I got to the intersection of Fishers and Pennswood at dusk. It's a well-to-do neighborood with older, historic (colonial era?) buildings. This ruled out drawing a big X in the intersection and fooling around with Charlie the Raptor, but the geohash expedition was a success nonetheless. Pictures to come.
