Jim Creek Recreation Area:

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. I'm don't want to be lazy, lazy people don't do fun things, plus they die young from cardiovascular disease.

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