Participants
Plans
The coordinates were in a public housing development in Woodbridge, making this a rather long (57 mile) and rather urban bicycle geohash. To do something for Memorial Day, I decided to stop at every cemetery along the route and say thanks to a random veteran at each.
Expedition
I set out with plenty of time to spare, but spent so long relaxing at the third cemetery that I barely made it to the area by 4:05. I didn't meet any other geohashers. Although there was theoretically public access, I didn't want to be going too close to folks's homes, so I snapped a couple photos outside the complex and headed back, taking in two more cemeteries on an alternate route.
Photos
Robert M. Deleson. At the first cemetery, I sought out a veteran who had been killed in the line of duty, and found Deleson here out of a sea of flags, who died during the war at least. After this I chose veterans at random to thank.
John Wesley Enochs.
Clifton L. Conover. Incidentally, this cemetery was the site of the only geohash where I have met another geohasher without planning beforehand.
The intersection of the NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway from above.
As close as I was getting to the coordinates.
Nearest intersection.
Woodbridge Housing Authority.
I am almost not permitted to cross the Victory Bridge over the Raritan without taking pictures.
Eddie Gwozdziewicz, 1923-1944.
Max Finkelstein, 1922-1945.
