Expedition

Where is everybody?

This is the second hashpoint of the day. The story starts here.

Driving through small, winding roads, Pastori and Wife found themselves in Rovaniemi visiting Santa Claus. Santa was nowhere to be seen, but the hashpoint was easy to find as it was only about 10 metres from the road. Pastori achieved an accuracy of 2,147 metres. At the spot, they fashioned ”xkcd” from twigs and also wrote it on the sand of the road. They also left a small piece of paper saying ”The internet was here.” Unfortunately at around noon there was no one else at the point. Pastori and Wife, while digesting a delicious salmon lunch, continued their trip towards yet another possible hashpoint.
