NOTE: This hash was completed two or three days before the wiki went completely down. I didn't have a chance to log the hashpoint before it went down. Now that the Wiki is running again, I'm writing my hash report a few months late.

Accuracy.

Another view from the hash, the woods pretty much looked like this all around.
Soaked, but happy to make it.
