Superbest, one of his friends, and possibly his friend's father.

Plan

Verily, it seems the RNG has deemed fit to challenge me anew with the unyielding lake of Durugöl. This is an all too familiar locale for me, and one fraught with frustration: My previous expedition had been to the other side of the lake, but fell victim to enticing guiles of the local cuisine.

But it is not the way of the explorer to allow setbacks the pleasure of victory over his will, tenacity and grim determination.

So I have managed to interest my friend, a survivor of the previously mentioned mutinous crew, in this curiously frequent geohash with the lovely pictures of Karaburun that we found, and promises of wonderful cool waters of the Black Sea in this hellish heat that has we have seen too much of in Istanbul, of late. He was also surprisingly intrigued by the prospect of us being the first ever crazy persons to do this.

The expedition is still uncertain, unfortunately. My friend accomplice has an appointment at 14:30 tomorrow. He will try to reschedule, and if he isn't able to then the expedition is off.

If he is, then we'll set out carrying food, swimming suits, a camera, and more detailed maps than I had squeezed out of my old inkjet previously. (Hooray for using school printers for personal purposes... I hope my professor doesn't read this. >_>)

(Hold on a sec... Wanna go geohashing, prof? We'll bring cookies!)

Ahem. Yeah. So, this time, we shall not be ill equipped nor ill prepared. Have at thee, lake Durugöl! Fate allowing, thy conquest is nigh.
