Plans

Since this was the first geohash it seemed in a while to be inside town, I thought it necessary to visit the place after work. Given that I could thoroughly explore the site beforehand with Google Street View and Bing Bird's Eye, I figured this one to be merely a drive-thru.

Expedition

I kind of feel now this expedition wasn't worth the time, since it ended up being more of a chore than anything else. As I indicated, this trip ended up being only a drive-thru of the spot. I was at work later than I expected to be, and because of the stupid earth's tilted axis, it is quite early when it gets dark for the evening this time of the year. So the trip ended up being rushed and without much reward. I haven't yet looked at what pictures Rachel took while driving, but now that I'm thinking of it, I don't think any were taken of either of us. I also know that of the four times I drove through the spot, I don't think any of them showed me going the correct speed limit or if any of them turned out at all. I'll have to review them.
