Expeditions

Geohashers in Attendance

Mr. Bow Tie

The Chase

I was aware of the location Friday evening, but didn't seriously consider going until 8:30 Sunday morning. I was alone this time and was prepared to finally reach a hash. The point was near Cecil Field in what looked like a wooded area off of a recently built road. I had to make a run to my classroom to collect my GPS and camera for documentation purposes, but was on my way right at 9 AM. The drive was very nice. I got to see a part of town I had never seen before and there was almost no traffic. Score! Around 9:30 AM I saw something in the distance. My heart sank. I cursed a little. It was yet another roadblock. Blast! Foiled again. In respect for the law I took some pictures, got back in my car, and sulked all the way home. There's always next time.

Note: To fully appreciate this failure, I suggest reading my past attempts.
