Jevanyn (talk), although I'm supposed to be painting that day.
User:Signore Galilei (talk) ~~potentially? I should be available, though it's a bit of a drive from the other side of the graticule.~~ EDIT: It looks like the weather isn't cooperating, so I don't think I will make the drive.

Plans

There is a parking lot nearby, this is within easy reach.

The river itself will likely be high from rain at that time, so an aquahash should not be attempted unless you have a Jet-ski or something (I don't know where one would put into the river, but I think I've seen kayaks at this location in the past.)

Geohash Droid puts the hash on the south bank of the river rather than in the water, for what it's worth. I presume we'd still park in the lot on the North side? Signore Galilei (talk) 16:23, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Expedition

I've been to this exact spot in Duke Island Park a dozen times! Let's get a group together at 4PM weather permitting! -- Jevanyn (talk) 11:45, 14 July 2023 (EDT)

I'm here, in the green t-shirt and (vintage) Somerset Patriots cap. Chilling in the parking lot, charging my phone, waiting to see if it will stop raining entirely or not. -- Jevanyn (talk) @40.5509,-74.6710 15:33, 16 July 2023 (EDT)

If your drive all the way down to parking lot D, it's a lot closer to the geohash -- Jevanyn (talk) @40.5499,-74.6720 15:36, 16 July 2023 (EDT)

Oh no, I forgot to reserve! :-) @40.5492,-74.6729
Here's the crossing paths near the hashpoint @40.5490,-74.6727
The Raritan is running at least a meter higher than normal, as we've been bombarded with rain the last few days. @40.5490,-74.6728
The closest I can get is 48-50 meters. Looking down from the edge into this. (The river bank on the is about 10 meters further out.) @40.5490,-74.6726
