Expedition

I was getting a ride to Milwaukee with some lovely ladies from TarValon.net's 9th Anniversary Event (in Wisconsin Dells) and couldn't help but notice this was only a detour away from our route! After an hour or so of watching the sparse landscape, I discovered the unfortunate: my GPS batteries had died.

We had come about 15 km to the hashpoint, but without any maps printed off and no familiarity with the maze of highways that is Wisconsin, we wound up having to call it a day.
