Location

Jim Creek Recreation Area:

Hashpoint is half a mile south of the Jim Creek Recreation Area parking lot in an area well known to be frequented by off-road enthusiasts, 2nd amendment fanatics, as well as a smattering of mischievous teenage criminals and fun-loving anarchists and other chaotic-neutral types.

Plans

1:28pm: Thinking about Geohashing in general. I first discovered geohashing 3 days ago but have been working all 3 days until today. It seems the geohashing community consisted of less than a dozen people in this state and seems to have died off almost a decade ago. Pity, might have been fun.

2:03pm Checked for today's hash point location. It is surprisingly accessible but in an area I have little interest in visiting. no plan to visit.

3:48pm My family is going to the state fair. I have no desire to go to the state fair. Plan to stay home alone.

4:10pm Looking at map, wondering where to go for a hike for the next couple hours.

4:12pm Remember today's geohashing point. initiate decision making algorithm...

 Negatives:

1. There are ATVs there and lots of noise. 2. There are crazy people with guns there. 3. I'm kind-of lazy.

 Positives:

1. It is unlikely that future hash points will be this accessible. 2. I haven't been to the area in many years. 3. it's only a 15 minute drive. 4. It might be fun to run from my life from crazy people. 5. Lazy people don't do fun things, plus they die young from cardiovascular disease. I don't want to be lazy.

4:47pm Decision made. Plan to visit. Plan to drive to parking area, park, then walk through the woods. Shouldn't be too hard.
