As any geohasher knows, nothing beats hashing with nice clean nails, so we scheduled a visit at our local salon. Unfortunately, it took forever, and by the time we had made it to the Toccoa Grat, we had missed NWoodruff by about 20 minutes.

I was interested in this hash because it is right outside the new Gwinnett Braves stadium, which I have yet to visit. We will be back this spring to retrohash and cheer on the Braves.

After the hash, we visited the Mall of Georgia, with its 166,000 square meters of shopping pleasure. We finalized our trip with a Chinese restaurant on Buford Highway, feasting on a yummy Thai-style hot pot.
