Location

In a clearing near Njurundabommen, south of Sundsvall.

Participants

Plans

Of course I need to go hashing on Pi day! So I scouted the possible points and decided on the one in my home graticule.

Expedition

So I headed out towards the hashpoint, stopping by at McDonalds (unfortunately the only fast food place I knew that have pies) and then continuing down to the hashpoint. I parked at the parking lot outside the nearby church and started walking towards the point. I was a bit worried that it had ended up in the middle of the new road being built near there. I passed a bridge being built for it before turning off the road and heading into the forest. After a little walk I found the hashpoint in a small clearing next to a meadow so I set up camp there. Rolling out the, uh, "colorful tablecloth", putting up my picnic bag of burgers and taking out my eating utensils. Next I built a snowman next to the point and sat down and enjoyed my burgers and pie, sad over the fact that despite the day, I would not quite qualify for the Pie Geohash achievement. After that I explored the area and found a trap! Then I packed up and returned home.

Tracklog

Still no GPS.

Is it true that Penthok earned the Pie Geohash?
In principle, yes.
But despite being Pi day, I still failed to supply a homemade pie or anyone to share it with at (2012-03-14 62 17).
