We checked the hash and found that the hash was close.  Very close.  In town, even.  No, better.  Across the street. Holy crap.

Because it was such a close hash, nothing too interesting happened, although it did start snowing halfway.  Most of this hash was about getting the necessary proof for Tron and No Batteries.
 +
 
 +
For Tron, we've included a drawn map of our path, as well as a picture of each intersection sign that we turned at.  You can follow our path on our provided map.
 +
 
 +
Similarly, on the map, we marked three driveways and two trees.  These can be seen in four pictures taken at the hash.

Location

Middle of Balsam Drive, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin.

Participants

Plans

Basically, we were to walk to the hash and back.

Expedition

After a long week, the gang decided to kick back and enjoy a nice evening at The9thPatriarch's house. After awhile, we got bored, so what do you do when you bored? You geohash!

We checked the hash and found that the hash was close. Very close. In town, even. No, better. Across the street. Holy crap.

We began the intricate planning that was necessary to achieve this hash. Because it was so close, we could go all out and get some of the achievements that would be hard to do if the hash was farther away than across the street.

In the end, we decided upon Walking Hash, No Batteries Geohash, and Tron Geohash. Overall, this would be pretty simple.

Because it was such a close hash, nothing too interesting happened, although it did start snowing halfway. Most of this hash was about getting the necessary proof for Tron and No Batteries.

For Tron, we've included a drawn map of our path, as well as a picture of each intersection sign that we turned at. You can follow our path on our provided map.

Similarly, on the map, we marked three driveways and two trees. These can be seen in four pictures taken at the hash.
