Location

Participants

Jim

Plans

Jim has a get-together in Salem, so was going to leave shortly to try to go to the hashpoint before heading South.

Michael5000 planned, as a new year's resolution with UnwiseOwl, to go geohashing on Feb. 26 no matter what. It's just good luck that today's hashpoint turned out to be something of a creampuff.

Expedition

Michael5000 dressed pretty warmly for a sub-freezing bicycle ride, but still lost track of his toes four miles into the nineteen-mile jaunt. Google Maps clearly shows the hashpoint on the trail; by my GPS the point was about a foot and a half north of the trail. I left a message for passers-by, and no doubt somebody at the other end of a CCT camera noticed the dude with a black balaclava making chalk marks and photographing airport operations. Then I rode home.
