Expedition

Saw this was definitely a reachable one that wasn't too far away so I planned to go after work. My day was pretty rough and I needed to really use my brain detailing some complicated logic for an update we are trying to make. By the time 17:00 came around, I was distracted and started doing some work around the house and was pretty productive. Right after I started dinner, I realized I still needed to go Geohashing!

It wasn't that late so I planned to go after I ate and then stop at the grocery store on the way home. The drive over was uneventful as I followed my phone GPS and as I found the roads by the hash, I found a place to park at the corner. Walking over, I was having trouble getting a good reading as my blue dot wanted to stay in the street even though I was on the edge of the sidewalk. Going back and forth a couple times, it did eventually get a little closer so I got my screenshots and pictures. I didn't want to hang around too long and weird out any of the neighbors who happened to see me. I probably could have done this No Batteries, but it would have been hard to show in the dark.

I called my girlfriend on the way to the grocery store to finish off a very productive day.

  It was too dark for the selfie, so I got the stupid grin in the car.
