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.
Expedition #2
TachiTaylor and zhukant rode our bikes through Mt. Tabor to the hashpoint. It was our first bicycle outing this year! We found the 5000s' marker and chalked in our own, took photos and then went to eat at Panda Express. This is the first hash either of us has encountered with previous markings. Very cool! Hopefully we can all synchronize our hashing in future so we can all meet up at once rather than having 4 different expeditions!
Expedition 5000a
Mrs.5000 returned from an excursion in the late afternoon and reported that she had been to the hashpoint and had seen the markings from the previous expeditions.
