Expedition

GeohashingDay/Mouseover Day, and everybody agreed to go. It was the same general direction as yesterday's expedition but in a much less picturesque location: a parking lot. The business was Silverberry Kitchen, a "European style cafe" that gets good reviews. Unfortunately they had closed at 3 pm. We resorted to the Dunkin Donuts two doors down. I will sadly not be able to compete with DODO's lovely expedition-food pictures.

I bought a Coolatta, and Katja bought a "frozen hot chocolate", in hopes of GeoSquishy achievements. The rules say they don't count because they're not carbonated. Ah well; into each expedition some adversity must fall. We're skeptical that ordinary Slushies are carbonated either, actually, but we'll forgo the achievement.

  Proof.

• 

  Grins (3.5 of them, anyway.)

• 

  S&K&R at hashpoint...

• 

  G&K&R at hashpoint. Our family does not do well in bright sun.

• 

  Cafe sign. Unfortunately the cafe was closed.

• 

  Doughnuts, acquired two doors south.

• 

  Frozen drinks, but apparently not eligible for GeoSquishy.
