Participants

Plans

TachiTaylor and zhukant plan to bike there from home.

Michael5000 is planning on making this an all-running expedition, probably reaching the hashpoint within 20 minutes either side of 12:15.

Mrs.5000 is considering making a separate expedition as part of her errands.

Expedition

Expedition 5000

Michael5000 ran from home to the hashpoint, as planned, and arrived more or less directly at 12:15. As I was trying to scratch "2014-02-23 45 -122" in the barkdust, who should happen along but Benture and Leah. Although I knew this was a strong possibility, it was still awfully cool: four and a half years after I started geohashing, I met someone else at the hashpoint.

Then, a friend of Benture's pulled over, having seen us in the parking lot, and was surprised to learn that he was geohashing too.

Eventually, we ran out of ways to say "Wow! Here we are, geohashing! It is remarkable!" and so we headed our separate ways. For me, it was an all-running trip, with a total distance of 8.3 miles, the longest of the three all-running expeditions to date.
