Half-Hearted Weekday Attempts
- 2008-06-23: This was within 5 miles of his house, and he wasn't working, so James arrived in Deer Lake just after 4:00 PM for the (first?) weekday geohash. Unfortunately, it turned out to be located within a fenced-in wastewater treatment plant. So even though he breached the outer perimeter, he only got within 300 feet of the spot before a more secure fence turned him away. And since he failed to actually reach the hashpoint, he didn't take any pictures. Oh, and once again it started raining as soon as he left. So, not a successful outing. But he did enjoy the strange looks directed his way.
- 2008-07-13: Two and a half miles from Zingor, and the map made it look like I could just walk on up. Unfortunately, there's actually a giant barbed-wire topped fence preventing that. I guess the State of Florida doesn't want people just wandering around on I-10.

- 2008-06-28 : James got within 95 feet of this one, took pictures, and helped a motorist put their jetski back on its trailer.
- 2008-07-12 : James neglected to bring his GPS on this trip and had no idea of the exact coordinates, but the map says he made it to within a football field just by driving aimlessly.

Geodashing Spot
