After that i got myself dinner and found a good place to park my van for the night in Clearwater. The next day I continued to Prince George which (Hwy 5 to hwy 16) which took quite long because of the snowy, icy, and slushy road conditions. I visided friends there for Newyears, not planned but made possible by crazy geohashing.

The Full Report

I`ll make this a report of all three geohashes attempted this day. I had lined up two normal hashes Vancouver, British Columbia and Cache Creek, British Columbia on my way to the Globalhash in Barrière, British Columbia.

The First location was not successful because of fences and no trespassing signs. I tried to approach from two sides, but the location was situation behind the airport and a reserve and under powerlines.

  • 1km to go from two sides

  • No trespassing

The second hash was a just of Hwy 1 between Cache Creek and Kamloops. I stopped on the side of the road in a little pull out and walked through the thinly snow covered fields to the point, snapped some pictures and on again to get as far as possible before nightfall.

  • Van Parked

  • Made It

  • Smile!

Between just after that geohash I and kamloops I gave a ride to a nice hich-hiker, my good dead for the day!. Around Kamloops the weather started to get nasty, Snow, dense fog etc, but luckily it was much better when I arrived in Barriere. Still somewhat cold, but no snow or rain. It had gotten dark, but I did bring a flashlight and most of the route was on a good road that was not accessible by car in winter, but clearly marked. The last 200m or so was some bushwacking but not to difficult. The snow was easy enough to walk through. I made it to the hash around 8PM and back out an hour later. After that i got myself dinner and found a good place to park my van for the night in Clearwater. The next day I continued to Prince George which (Hwy 5 to hwy 16) which took quite long because of the snowy, icy, and slushy road conditions. I visided friends there for Newyears, not planned but made possible by crazy geohashing.

  • as far as my van could take me

  • Made It GlobalHash!

  • Smile i the very dark...
