Revision as of 18:40, 3 October 2011

Location

The hash point was located in the middle of a suburban street in Mississauga.

Participants

Splitdipless

Plans

It might be another late night run, but I plan on trying to get to this hash point. Maybe if it's late enough it will be a midnight hash. Otherwise, nothing fancy: venture in my car. Splitdipless 14:40, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

Expedition

So I decided to make it a midnight hash. This gave me a bit of time to go to the Naval Club before hand. From the Upper Beach, I drove out to the hash point and parked along the street, possibly passing through the geohash as I drove. I was there just a few minutes before midnight.

I got out, and took a picture down the street and of my GPS then got back into my warm car. I then decided to wait the few minutes to midnight. I snapped a couple shots at 1 minute before and at midnight, then started up 'Em,' my car, and drove back, definately going through the hash point, earning me the fun combination: a midnight speed racer.

I got home about 30/40 minutes later, which lead to me missing the next geohash I had planned.

Photos

Yay! I made it.
Not a lot of kids playing on the street just prior to midnight.
Tired, but grinning.
Almost...
Happy new year! Er, new day!
