Photos

Just getting started. I didn't fill in the date on the flag in case I didn't make it.
From the road, the hashpoint is in this general direction.
A terribly blurry picture, but it's the only one I took while traipsing towards the point.
Geohashing
This is it!
I claim this land for geohashing
My car, viewed from the hashpoint (zoomed in)

Mr. Soggy Shorts
Well that was an adventure
I didn't stop in to see if Miracle Max was there
You know you're in a small town when...
Re-approching the hashpoint, you see where the field meets the jungle
An orange flag lies somewhere in the wilderness
I don't have time for this!
Moo
Half a drowned rat
