Planning
This hash came out in the parking lot of some sort of big building. Woodveil created one of their topographical Google Earth overlays for the region surrounding the point, and the topo map told us we were actually going to a library. What fun! A meetup was scheduled for 6:30.

Woodveil left for the point just prior to 6:00. Traffic out of downtown was the usual non-existant, and we approached the hash a little early. We turned onto Battle Creek Road, very near, when someone honked at us. Stupid Atlanta drivers... Oh wait, no, it's just NWoodruff, directly behind us. What timing!

So we caravanned into the parking lot of the library. Then armed with GPS and chalk, the party of three proceeded towards the hashpoint, which ended up in a small green space next to the library. There were even benches! Obviously, people were meant to be in this area. Which was a rare occurrence, and so we seized the opportunity to relax at the hashpoint for a decent amount of time, without the constant fear of someone finding us and asking us to leave (or simply calling the cops). NWoodruff found a cat, and a tribute to xkcd was constructed from natural materials. Photos were taken, conversations were had, and the merits of giving blood were highlighted. Then we agreed to meet up again tomorrow, same time, probably not same place, and went to leave.
But then we discovered a trail leading into a some nearby woods. I bicycle trail. Woodveil investigated on foot, but NWoodruff just happened to have his bicycle with him. The trail led over a creek and under a bridge before Woodveil headed back.
All in all, good location and good meetup. Let's hope the next one is in the parking lot of a Mexican restaurant.
