Location

The hash is on a farm along Hyde Rd south of Davis. The farm itself might be inaccessible, but there is a cool weather radar station just north of it. It is raining today, though, so that might be a big deterrent.

Who Went

zhukant

Plans

If it's not raining too bad I'll go out there! It's pretty close.

3:30 PM -- Well, it's not raining but nobody has said anything so far. I don't really want to go alone my first time to an awkward one - I think I might try the one next door in Santa Rosa because it looks like it's on a sidewalk.

Expedition

By the time I set out to get there it had started raining again, and it got a lot darker. I also realized that I don't have the right shoes for trekking on muddy farmland, and that I misplaced my camera tripod. Better luck next time! My hiking GPS will hopefully arrive in the mail soon. I have yet to succeed at a geohash, but I won't stop trying!

Achievements

zhukant earned the My kingdom for a boat consolation prize

by being prevented from reaching the (38, -121) geohash on 2012-11-16 by an impassable and unforeseen flooded farm.
