Expedition

We have cousin Hannah visiting from Germany, and this was a chance to introduce her to geohashing. The girls had already been on a bike ride in the morning and displayed little enthusiasm for another, and we have an excuse to do car geohashes, as described in 2014-07-27 43 -85. So Katja drove us on this very easy 8-mile roundtrip.

We were rewarded with some blackberries.

• 

  Grins. There are other versions where Rebekah's eyes are not closed, but in those George looks very confused about how this selfie thing works. Because He Who Files The Report Selects The Pics, you get this one where G. looks reasonable.

• 

  Katja, Hannah, and Rebekah at hashpoint.

• 

  Queen Anne's Lace just north of the hashpoint. My phone camera did not deal very well with this very bright day and several shots exhibit "CCD bloom".

• 

  K with blackberries.

• 

  Proof.

• 

  Headed back to the car, through the most difficult part of the expedition (unmown grass for about 5 m.)
