Location

Along NW Arterial near John F. Kennedy Road, Dubuque, Iowa.

Participants

The attractive and gracious wife and daughter of Swensonj (talk).

Plans

After waiting for months for a really accessible hash to show up, I (SwensonJ) find one on a day when I have to go to Illinois for a pinewood derby race.

Luckily, family members have to be at an event in Dubuque at the same time. I believe I've prevailed on them to visit the hash for me....

Expedition

SwensonJ

My son and I, and our friends, had an excellent trip to the pinewood derby. We got home well before my wife and daughter, and had to wait anxiously to see if the gymnastics and the geohash had gone well -- my wife didn't take her cell phone along.

Eventually they came home, healthy and happy, to report a successful hash.

SwensonJ's wife

(more to come!)
