Location

A street corner in a residential neighborhood in Mt Prospect, Illinois, U.S.A.

Participants

EvilUncleNomo (without The Wife)

Plans

While at work, I noticed that the closest geohash was only 5 miles from the office. Although not in my home gradicule (Aurora, Illinois), I couldn't pass up a hash this easy.

Expedition

At about 7 PM on the way home from work, I detoured to the target. The neighborhood was dark (except for the Christmas lights) and quiet. An especially uneventful hash.

Photos

Standing in the middle of the street @42.0498,-87.9481
Christmas lights!
