Location

South tip of Mayne Island, down a gravel road.

Participants

DonQuixote - First one off Vancouver Island
DonQuixote's girlfriend, whom he dragged along because she has a car and "Likes adventures."

Plans

DonQuixote mentioned geohashing to his girlfriend at 12:30am as part of a Skype chat. Plans were made to catch the early ferry to Mayne at 5:45am, where we would have a half hour-we needed to be back in Victoria before noon.

Expedition

This expedition turned out well-no GPS though. Made it to the approximated site of the geohash in the dark before sunrise around 7:25am. Turned around and made the next ferry home. Was back by 10:00am. Total time was around 6h, most of it done before the sun rose.

Photos

Achievements

DonQuixote and his girlfriend earned the Land geohash achievement

by dragging his girlfriend to the (48, -123) geohash on 2010-10-30.
