Expedition

After figuring out how to input coordinates as a destination, hezekiah talked his father Dave into accompanying him to their first geohash. Dave handled the driving, on the condition that stops were made at his childhood homes after reaching the hash. The drive itself was wholly unremarkable, but trekking through the brush was delayed for a few minutes while waiting to hear the result of Ohio State's basketball game. The GPS unit used appeared to be somewhat erratic, so it took a few minutes of traipsing around before it settled down and allowed for an accurate reading. During this time, hezekiah and Dave gathered some trash. The location was pinned down, pictures were taken, and then it was on to the Dave Nostalgia Tour. 3 houses later, the voyage was complete.
