Expedition
This morning I downloaded the Geohashing app and, with beginner's luck, found that the hashpoint in my graticule was near the side of the road in a state forest in an area with abundant trails I hadn't hiked yet. The complication was that I had an 11:15 job interview over Zoom, and the hashpoint was just over an hour away, not leaving me enough time to hike and get home. I located a local library branch where I could do the interview, mapped out the drive times, and decided the timeline would work. I put my laptop, a dress shirt, and a blazer in the car and hit the road.
I parked at the trailhead and called the library, which had just opened, to reserve a meeting room for my job interview. I estimated I had 30 minutes for a mini hike, so I rambled for a bit. Then I used AllTrails to find my way back in the direction of the hashpoint. I found it in a mossy area of new-growth forest with a lot of salal and some huckleberry bushes. Then I took the road back to the parking lot and headed back to the library in Belfair for my job interview video call.
