Participants

Maladroit

Plans

Well, here I am all of six days after claiming that my April 6 geohash was my easiest yet, revising that award to refer instead to this even easier one. All told, it was a seven-minute detour from my commute for the day, and one I was probably going to take anyway to stop by a nearby restaurant.

Expedition

The only major inconvenience was that it was raining again. I did plan ahead enough to have an umbrella on hand for this hash, but that makes three out of three hashes which I've gotten at least a bit damp to achieve (twice thanks to rain, once thanks to tramping through a river). On the upside, at least I didn't have to trek through mud to reach the hash—it was just off the road and in an open field, so I just parked by the side of the street and took a short walk over. I managed to protect myself from the rain for the most part...and then ruined it by promptly soaking myself when I tried to stow my umbrella.
