About

Yes, we'd scouted this hash out on the way back to the previous day's hash. It was on the side of a road, west of the Airport.

Expedition

Lookin' good.

We found the time around 12:30 to make a run at this hash, which looked particularly good as it would be our fourth straight day of reaching hashes. Interestingly enough, we got lost on the drive down, basically missing our turn and way overshooting. But we had Nick's iPhone, so we looked up new directions and changed our course back towards the point. We reached it around 1:30.

I, gps in hand, ran to the hash and declared it to be a tree. We even got another picture of our gps showing 0.00 feet to go! Of course, about thirty seconds later it showed 28 feet to go, without having been moved. I suppose that's why the accuracy required is a ten meter circle. Well, we had found the point, Nick had wedged his camera in between some trees to take a picture (We need to just buy a damn tripod), and we ate some Pringles. Now to get back to class, and hope for a good hash tomorrow.

Pictures to come at some point.
