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!
Participants
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.
Expedition
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 easy access to a gravelly patch of low weeds and the hashpoint of desire.
Photos
behind this building
but maybe not this way

easy walk around the other end through break in concrete wall
hard to know what is Geotrash, and what is precious construction materials....
as close as I can tell
