Location
The hash looked to be in a residential area of Funkstown, MD. With a name like that, and a distance under an hour, I had to go. Would the kids want to come along? A resounding "YES" was heard and we piled into the car.
Participants
With one parent ill, it was decided that I would lead the expedition with Luke and Leia.
Plans
I pulled out the laptop with the kids eating breakfast. The youngsters needed to understand what this was all about. First we discussed what hashing is and what it is used for. Then I had to explain what the Dow Jones Industrial Average means. Once we had those under our belt we began the very delicate calculations. Alas! They had not learned the wonders of the hexidecimal system. A short tutorial later we were set to generate our full coordinates. After verifying with an online calculator we grabbed our gear and headed for the car.
