St. Oopid (talk) @33.6578,-117.7020 20:09, 8 November 2014 (EST):
The hashpoint was in a parking lot outside a faceless building in an area called "Irvine Industrial Complex East". Yeah, it is just as boring as it sounds.
Had the hashpoint been a few blocks south, it would have been outside the US headquarters of the Asics athlethic shoe company (hey, you've heard of them, right?); had it been less than a mile to the north, it would have been in a county jail; had it been less than two miles northwest, it would have been in the Orange County Great Park, which used to be a Marine Corps air station -- any of those would have been pretty interesting indeed! But no ...
However, I used to work in the building over from this one, so I figured I should swing by for old time's sake.
Since I had the parking lot to myself, I spent some time stepping forward and back, trying to get my location as close as possible; I'm sure I looked like a freak, had there been anyone to see me. And I do realize that cell phone GPS systems aren't that powerful -- but it is still a little disorienting to be standing still and watch your supposed location dance nearer and then away from the hashpoint, as though the ground were pulsing, stretching and contracting the space between you.
