Expedition

JwB

Prepared with streetview, the hash is on the curb in a residential area, nearby a recently abandoned old hosptal builing. I decided to drop by on my way to do weekend shopping. Will prepare fish-soup for friends tonight. Found the street with no problem, but the accuracy on my tablet-gps dropped, so i could not really get a low reading on the thing despite walking up and down the curb. The droid app told me i was there, at an accuracy of 18 meters. Went around the building, but there i also got no lower than 18 meters. on the front side that was better, and i decided to put a post it on a drain near to where the hash must have been. Took pictures of the street and of my grin. After shopping the weekend groceries in town, decided to pass by again. Again accuracy dropped but i was sure that i must have gone over the hash by now. Screenshot made and attached.
