Location

Just off a driveway in Worcester, MA.

Participants

Plans

Plan: Drive in a Mini, rack up as many achievements as possible. Play Go.

Expedition

Actual happenings:

We left from phyzome's place in Somerville about 2pm. Having forgotten to print out the "All-The-Infos" PDF, we stopped at his office to print it out, then got on the road. Roughly 50 minutes later, we were at Timber, LN, in Holden, MA, Worcester County. After some finagling a couple of GPSs, we were able to determine that the geohash was behind a tree, just inside of someone's property line. Dog barking, we knocked on the door, with no response. A couple of neighbors were fairly creeped out, but seemed to think we were mostly harmless, so we made a snowman, including a carrot-nose supplied by phyzome.

We met up with another XKCD reader who was on his first Geohash, shook hands, waited around until a few minutes after 4, then headed out. Evn wanted to complete the Squishy achievement, so we headed to Dunkin' Donuts nearby. A 4 point GeoSquishy later (it took them two attempts, and the Coolatta still barely qualified as a slushy) and we were back on the road. Another 50 minutes and phyzome was home. Round about 15 more and so was Evn.

Good times for Evn's geohashing adventure, and we were able to complete a few achievements, including photographic evidence!
