Plans

I have been wanting to try geohashing for a long time. At the start of the year I vowed that I would go the first time the Saturday meetup met the following conditions:

  • It's within an hour drive
  • It's someplace I can get with relative ease (remember this would be my first)
  • I can get away for two or three hours on a Saturday

So when this came up on a day my wife was going to be working all day and was mere yards from a parking lot at a start park and less than a tenth of a mile from a geocache as well!? ... I just had to try it!
