Logistics

Google Maps link
In a farm field in Patterson (SE of Tracy.) Appears to be easy access, with farmer's permission (Please do not tresspass!)

Intended attendees

Ted (and Vicki) will try to arrive around 3:30 to get permission, then off to the spot for 4:00. Will bring once upon a time. Also going to attempt the no-batteries & circus achievements.
Shrugged Will try to arrive around 4ish and hope Ted already got permission. Going to attempt to drag-along geohash by making one or more friends go with her. Will bring playing cards.

Execution/aftermath

Ted (and Vicki) made it. The entire group got the No-Batteries achievement. Ted also got the Circus achievement, Vicki the 1st hasher, and Ted & Vicki the XKCD-100.
- Pix to follow probably tomorrow (Sunday.)
- [1]< Circus Achievement
Shrugged and Jason also made it. They also got the no-batteries achievement, and Shrugged awarded herself the Drag-along achievement for bringing Jason with her. Jason has prepared several proof photos to show off the glorious day in the hay field. If anyone's offended by any of the photos feel free to remove.
- We played a great game that Ted and Vicki brought called Once Upon A Time. Shrugged and Jason loved it, and think their Improv group should play it. Indeed, Shrugged drove all the way to Concord the same evening to purchase said game.

Photographic Evidence

Ted illustrates the No-Batteries Achievement:

Proof of the beauty of hay fields:

I didn't get a picture of where we ate, but I saved the menu for this page. They were actually closing down the place (for the day) due to lack of business when we arrived. They agreed to let us in. Our cook was very precise and deliberate in her execution, and I thought the results were good. Ted got a double bacon cheeseburger. Vickie got a cheeseburger. Jason got a chicken burger, and Paige got a veggie burger.

-* [[User:Shrugged|Shrugged]] and [[User:Jason|Jason]] also made it.  I'll let Paige edit to inform on what achievements we may have gotten.  Well, editing this page, and particularly my photos has taken a lot of time.  I'm pleased with the results, though.  I have a number of other photos including the other side of the Harley's menu, but I didn't want to put up too much clutter.  If anyone's offended by any of the photos feel free to remove.
