This Geohash is located on a field in Balfouria. The town is probably named for Lord Balfour who recommended the creation of the State of Israel.

The day happens to be Purim. Before I left, I listened to the reading of the Book of Esther. After I got back I made the stupid mistake of drinking beer, then wine, then tequila.

Expedition

I spent the weekend by a friend's place. I took a bus shorter than twenty minutes to get to Balfouria. Then I walked the full kilometer across town (it was easy) until I got to the wheat field. I asked a person who worked near by if I was permitted to enter the field and he said that it belongs to the collective (Moshav) and nobody will care. I walked back to the edge of the field and then walked fifty meters to hash point and found it relatively easily. Then I saw a crop dusting plane and ran back to the road to avoid getting sprayed. Of course, my phone got lost in the field. I eventually asked a woman for her phone and left my driver's license with her. I walked out to the field, called the phone and found it.
