Participants

Josh

Plans

Drive to the hash point after work.

Expedition

After a near-successful expedition last week in Lebanon, TN, Josh was determined to go on a successful geohashing trip. The hash point was easily found right off the sidewalk in the yard of a house on Highlander Dr (alas, Connor McLeod was not there). I saw a piece of paper in the yard, which made me wonder if perhaps I had missed some other geohashers earlier that day! Alas, trash. I stayed for about ten minutes, during which time my OCD got the better of me and I picked it up. After a couple minutes I heard some familiar music around the corner. What joy! An ice cream truck! On a (delicious) whim, I decided to buy a Big Bopper (after the ice cream man told me that he had just sold his last Vanilla Brownie Cone). I promptly ate my treat then left the internet's mark on the hash point. I went on my way home only to end up driving alongside the same ice cream truck when I got onto the interstate. I'm not a stalker, I swear, though I wouldn't mind giving Ice Cream Hunter a serious thought as a career path.
