Expedition
Wijnland. I convinced one of my skiing friends to join me for this geohash. The location was on a hill in a forest near Pemberton. Access to the forest was over a gravel path and some agricultural land. We went up to the house to ask permission and found nobody there and proceeded into the forest. On the geohash location we found a marked tree with orange ribbon and one with strange cutmarks. The marks looked fresh and were surely human as they were kind of square. I thought somebody had beat me to this hash. On our way out we met the owner of the house who granted us passage back to the road where we met Rhonda who also made here way there. She decided not to go up anymore as the owners were not to enthusiast about our presence.
