'''February 24:''' The west end of [http://www.njskylands.com/pkallamu.htm Allamuchy Mountain State Park], on the west slope of a 1250 ft peak mountain.  Now ''this'' is a nature hike.  The main entrance to the park is from the south near Waterloo, but according to [http://mtbnj.com/directory.php?f=show&id=22 the MTBNJ website], there is a trailhead and/or parking that is close to Tranquility Farm Rd along Route 517/Decker Pond Road.  This would make a great retrohash if no one canmake it today.

Attempted geohashes

  • Wednesday, February 18, 2008
    • Someone's front yard in White House Station, New Jersey. Brandon dragged his father along despite the freezing rain for their first geohash.
  • Saturday, February 14, 2009
    • The geohash was in a house in Nutley. Jevanyn made a lolhouse, and someone suggested a meetup at the nearest corner. Did anyone go?
  • Sunday, September 7, 2008
    • Stopped in Earle on the way home from visiting Cape May. Side of Route 33 featured No Tresspassing signs and poison ivy. Took pictures and picked up trash. Uncovered triceratops abuse; called ASPCA. Pictures to come.
  • Saturday, August 16, 2008
    • Field near Plainsboro. Zubenelgenubi followed the "visitors" signs on the Black Rock lot before veering down a semi-public-looking abandoned roadway until a security guard arrived. Does not qualify as a Police Geohash as this was just an amiable rent-a-cop. No proof. (start here)
  • Friday, June 13, 2008
    • Forest Hill Rd, Staten Island, New York. There may have been a meetup at the Staten Island Mall, but no claim has been made yet. (start here)
  • Thursday, June 12, 2008
    • US 206, Hillsborough. Jevanyn has claimed a Cubicle Geohash honorable mention, but has not yet provided proof. (start here).
