As reported elsewhere [[2012-11-20 41 -71]], this is NOT the hash I was looking for...
 
 
But errands headed me in this direction, so the opportunity to be PAID while driving to the hashpoint was irresistable.
 
 
Found a bit of scruffy ground with piled pallets, broken concrete, a major mill complex being desultorily converted into lofts, ALMOST had to get my feet wet.
 
 
Photos to follow once I find the right USB cable for my phone.  [[User:Vbob|Vbob]] 13:29, 20 November 2012 (EST)

Location

A few miles north of where the Acushnet River meets Buzzards Bay, the long-silent massive brick mills have once again fallen silent, as the projects to renovate them into loft apartments, studio, condos, and yet more little shops await a freshened economy. The shoreline is littered with decaying pilings, rusting fences, piles of pallets and broken concrete. A geotrasher would barely know where to begin. I wandered around one end of a curious brick building only to find chain link fence running down into the water. A hole in the fence led to more broken glass and poison ivy than seemed worth wading through. Around the other end of the building was long concrete wall - but it was broken down at the north end, giving access to a gravelly patch of low weeds and the hashpoint of desire.

Plans

The original plan was to take off early after lunch on a REALLY slow school day, and head west for 2012-11-20 41 -71; but an unexpected errand to the east meant I would be PAID to drive towards this hashpoint....but without pausing to announce same.
