Expedition

I began my journey by biking along 4000 West, which eventually turned into Jordan Landing Blvd. From there, I got to the geohash which was just a parking lot. Alright, that was easy, now let's go straight back home, right? Nope! I actually wanted to go in a loop, so I could get the tron achievement. So, I kept on going north, trying to find a way around a huge airfield, but got lost in suburban sprawl. Eventually, I ended up on 6200 South, so I began heading west on that road. Then I made a miserable journey back southwards, on Airport Road, with an annoying headwind. I tried to stop for a drink at a gas station, but there was no drinking fountain. So, I began to head up Copper Hills Pkwy, being thirsty, hungry, and tired. I also tried to stop for a drink at a small neighborhood park, but some dumb kid filled the drinking fountain with sand. Thanks for nothing, kid. Anyways, I eventually got home, and immediately chugged a Powerade and ate a ton of chicken nuggets.

Tracklog

Ok... So I don't wanna dox myself, so I'm just gonna provide this image of my tracklog to prove I got the tron achievement.

The blue marker with the date on it is the hashpoint
