Plans

I received an email from David earlier today alerting me that the geohash was a mere 1.25 miles away from my home. I have been meaning to go on a geohash for quite a while now, but had not had a chance to before today. I decided I would go after work, although I was a bit unprepared. I didn't have a camera with charged batteries or even a printer with which to print off directions, so I was going to have to rely on my phone to do all the navigating and photography.

Expedition

I mentioned the idea to my wife, who was interested in the idea, so after the two of us arrived home from work we headed to the geohash location, which was an easy drive from our house. Really nothing of note happened while we were there except that a cat jumped on the hood of her car. Despite this fact, it was a lot of fun and we plan to do more in the future. We took a few pictures, although most of them didn't turn out well because I only had the camera on my phone. I plan to update this page more tomorrow (including adding pictures).
