Expedition

This was a sad tale! The misadventure took place during our Christmastime travels from my parents in Cedar Rapids, Iowa to my wife's parents in Stephenville, Texas. After arriving at our destination in Texas, I checked to see if we'd travelled near any geohashes in any of the eighteen different graticules we'd driven through (about a 15 hour trip, all in one day). Alas and alack, the day's hashpoint for the Princeton, Missouri graticule ended up a mere stone's throw from the interstate we'd driven on. If I'd known in advance, it would have been very easy to stop on the shoulder and at least try to get there.
