About
This hashpoint was located off of I85 and not too far south of 285. Woodveil checked the coordinates just after 9:30 and planned to leave for the hash at 4:15.
Expedition
Woodveil
Chris was having a conversation while waiting for one of his classes to start when the subject turned to plans for the rest of the day.
Chris: Well, I've got another class at three, but then at four my brother and I are- Hey, do you have any more classes today?
Cyrus: No...
Chris: Want to go on an adventure?
And all of a sudden we had a Drag-Along. It took a bit more convincing, but we managed to persuade Cyrus to join us on our expedition without telling him anything about geohashing or the wiki. He had already heard of xkcd, so we get bonus points for that. Anywho, we drove down to the hash without incident, drove over it for the Speed Racer ribbon, and parked the car. We went back to chalk the spot in the road when we were approached by some curious homeowners. Nick explained geohashing to them, but apparently they didn't like it. They may or may not have made us eligible for the Police Geohash ribbon, but we didn't stick around to find out. All in all, successful drag-along speed-racer hash.
