Location
On a public road (Bennedict Lane) within the suburbs of West Austin.
Participants
enjoythecode (talk) + drag-along Ebru (my mom, a first time geohasher!)
Plans
Straightforward: drive there, and then enjoy a few bites at a nearby cafe overlooking Lake Austin :)
Expedition
First step was to convince my mother to drive me to the geohash, a concept she learned about on our way to this hash :)
Getting there was pretty straightforward, just a simple drive on the 360 (notably, it is the first highway I have seen in my life with traffic lights frequently stopping traffic...).
We got there around 7pm, and we took advantage of the setting sun to take some photos and explore around. Notable finds included: 1. The most sheltered outdoors mailbox that I have seen in my life 2. My first sighting of deers, and not only that, but deers *in a residential area*!
Then, we reaped the rewards of our hard-earned driving by visiting a nearby cafe and having something to eat. The live music was pretty nice, and the free edition of "The Austin Chronicles" is our keepsake from this expedition :)

Made it to this (easily drivable!) geohash, my first in Austin! @30.3104,-97.7870
My drag-along, Ebru!
This mailbox had an overly nice shelter for itself!
Overly-zoomed in deers to not spook them!
Nice sunset shot overlooking Lake Austin from nearby cafe.
