Expedition

We have cousin Hannah visiting from Germany, and this was a chance to introduce her to geohashing. The girls had already been on a bike ride in the morning and displayed little enthusiasm for another, and we have an excuse to do car geohashes, as described in 2014-07-27 43 -85. So Katja drove us on this very easy 8-mile roundtrip.

We were rewarded with some blackberries.

• 

  Grins. There are other versions where Rebekah's eyes are not closed, but in those George looks very confused about how this selfie thing works.

• Because He Who Files The Report Selects The Pics, you get this one where G. looks reasonable.
• 

  Katja, Hannah, and Rebekah at hashpoint.

• 

  Queen Anne's Lace just north of the hashpoint. My phone camera did not deal very well with this very bright day and several shots exhibit "CCD bloom".

• 

  K with blackberries.

• 

  Proof.

• 

  Headed back to the car, through the most difficult part of the expedition (unmown grass for about 5 m.)
