Plans

Will try to head out in the morning and make a stop at a cottage by Warsaw to exercise the dogs for a few hours. After that, will head to the Corning Graticule and make a quick stop in a field(around 2pm) to hopefully add another graticule to my Minesweeper progress. We may go to a movie in the morning so that would affect my schedule and in that case, I'd probably get out to the hash around 5 or 5:30pm. This is a good chance to have an actual meetup so I will message the active Rochester pair and see if we can make that happen.

Expedition

Hic Sunt Laganum: We had not yet checked out the points when fellow geohasher Pedalpusher alerted us to a possible meetup on the weekend. Being as we had never met another geohasher yet, we were raring to go. Pedalpusher was bringing apple crisp so we packed some hot water for tea and cocoa. Pulling up to the road we recognized the house and barns on the corner and as we started up the road we realized that just over two years ago we had been at this very same point, whoa Déjà vu. We stopped approximately perpendicular at the point and noticed a car down the road turning around. Suspicions abound, as it passed us on the way back Angel Food remarked "That's the smile of a geohasher." All parties disembarked from their vehicles and stood by the edge of the field and said "yup, it's that way." Winter wheat had been planted in the field making it green, quite a change compared to fall yellows it was surrounded by. We traveled to the point, snapped our happy mugs and returned to the vehicles for some well earned meetup snacks. Despite the 40ºF temperature we stood around for a hour chatting up some great geohashing memories and future goals. We hope to see Pedalpusher around again sometime.
