Expedition

I once again completely missed the point of geohashing. As you know, geohashing is all about meeting strangers to have fun, getting outside, getting a bit of exercise, and sometimes a challenging adventure.

So, I got on my bike, burned gasoline for about half an hour in the pouring rain though tedious rush-hour traffic. As I approached the hash point I noticed the traffic was really heavy, the visibility was poor, and the shoulder was really narrow because of construction. It wasn't safe to stop, but I glance down at the GPS just at the moment to see "0" in the "distance to destination" box. I kept going, pushed the "go home" button on the GPS, and followed the instructions home.

I successfully reached the point without:

getting exercise
being somewhere I've never been before
playing games with people
meeting new friends
interacting with any other humans
stopping
getting photographic proof of reaching the point
getting a screenshot of my GPS at the "0" point
profiting

The track log, if I manage to upload it, may show that I was there. Or it may not.

Photos

More to come.
