Participants

• Onicofago

Plans

Visiting family in Neuquén province while on vacation, discovered the hashpoint 200m of RN237, which we had to travel down South on Sunday. Virgin graticule.

Expedition

Travelling with the family in the car, it was easy to stop by and walk 200m thru the desert to reach the geohash. One of the easiests geohashes I've reached so far, took some pictures of the desert and got back to the AC :)

It was not so very hot, around 28ºC, just wandered less than 10 min and found the location over a light green bush. On the way back I discovered the corpse of what used to be a cow, and took a picture because it probably wouldn't feel disturbed.
