Expedition

"What better way to clear my head than to take a walk in the forest?" I thought. "It will be fun" I thought.

This hash was in a pretty forest with wildlife, near a place I used to live. After attending a lecture in tax law, I was looking forward to a nostalgic and relaxing break. At first I quite enjoyed the walk, breathing fresh air and listening to raindrops pitter-patter on my umbrella.

Until I spotted a wild boar in the bushes, just before it ran away. Excited about this encounter I continued on, only to see another (or the same?) boar disappear into the undergrowth. It didn't bother me, since boars generally aren't dangerous as long as they are not protecting piglets.

So I continued until I saw two more boars walking on the road. I approached slowly at a safe distance, expecting them to flee as well. They suddenly started walking towards me and grunting, followed by at least three more boars in the woods. It was time for a tactical retreat. The sounder followed me for a while until giving up the chase.

My first attemt at geohashing has already been thwarted by nature. At least it wasn't only the rain.
