Plans

After our recent success, we decided to give it another go. Today's hash looked particularly convenient, located right on a driveway about an hour south of us.

Expedition

We hit up HuHot this time in place of QT and, after stuffing ourselves, hopped on highway 63 to head toward the hash. The drive was significantly less complicated than our previous one. This time all of the streets were labeled correctly, and we even got to see a double rainbow!

Our last turn took us down Jim and Dot Temmens' driveway. As we made our way toward their house, we received dirty looks from the cattle we had to force off of the road. Again, being responsible geohashers, we knocked on the door to ask permission to find the hash in their front yard. The large, old man who answered the door in nothing but a pair of boxers (which were a size or two too small) had a hard time believing that we truly only wanted to snap a few pictures. After a little convincing, he asked for photo ID, and proceeded to write down both of our names and addresses. Looking slightly less uneasy, he went back inside and left us to collect evidence.

It turns out, the hash was only a few feet from where we parked in Mr. Temmen's driveway. So, we snapped a few pictures, hopped in the car and headed home.

  Yay!

  They had quite a few cows. They didn't seem to mind us as much as Jim.

  The hash was on private property. So, of course, we asked permission before venturing further.
