The Atlanta and Roswell Graticules have the most Hash spots that you can drive to and not even get out of your vehicle. This Geohash spot is not the exception. As a matter of fact, it would be down right dangerous to get out of your vehicle at this hash spot.

I passed through the Geohash spot twice trying to get a picture of myself inside of the 10 meter requirement. From exit to exit is a 2 and 1/2 mile distance, so round trip is 5 miles. I had driven 10 miles by attempting the picture twice. That was enough for me. Both shots failed, but I did see a less than 30 feet reading on my eTrex both times.

The real funny thing is I drove through this Geohash spot this morning at 6:20am on my way to work and didn't even know it.

passed through by Roozle and company around 7:13pm.

I-85 Southbound into Atlanta. I just turned off I-285 going east.
You can't see it here because I have a crappy old camera(that was free) but Shallowford road exit is 1 mile away.
I passed the hash spot by 65 feet going 63mph. It is hard to get the timing right at that speed.
I-85 Southbound and a speed limit of 65mph, although most people were doing 80mph.
The traffic warning sign.
Clairmont Road next exit.
My second attempt. 76.1 feet to go at 65.3mph. I just can't seem to get the timing down.
