Planning

Our first hash in a very long while. Probably a combination of warmer weather and more daylight led us to pursue other outdoor activities. School might have had something to do with it too, but probably not a lot. Either way, we decided to go for an easy speed-racer hash before we left for the summer.

Expedition

Getting there was easy. We drove. Not a whole lot to write. We started off on North Avenue, went a ways, crossed North Avenue, and arrived at the hash. There was a new house and a new subdivision being built, but neither of them prevented us from reaching our goal. We arrived at the hash a few minutes before four and walked about. Chris chalked a little bit, and we documented the speed for a clear case for the speed-racer achievement. We waited around a bit to see if NWoodruff would show up, but he didn't while we were there. So we went home to do the write up and study for Finals.

NWoodruff unfortunately had been called into work. I had run out of excuses this month on why I couldn't come in on Saturday. Good to see you guys back on the Geohash trail.
