Plans

Google maps showed what looked like a fence around the parking lot, so I kind of expected this to be a no trespassing hash. Especially with the name of the building the parking lot was attached to.

The google maps from York, PA (where I'm staying) to the hashpoint were as follows:

  • I-83S
  • I-695W
  • I-70W
  • US-29S
  • I-495W
  • George Washington Memorial Parkway
  • "The exit toward George Bush Center for Intelligence"
  • Colonial Farm Road

On Colonial Farm Road, there is also a Colonial Farm, which I decided before leaving was to be my stated destination if asked.

I also had a discussion with a friend about whether or not the "Center for Central Intelligence" was actually the CIA or just a Bush-ism. I figured "Central Intelligence" was a two-word proper noun, and that therefore it was the agency in question. Because of that, I figured the best I would be able to do was pictures of the parking lot from the other side of the fence.
