Location

In a front garden in El Cerrito, California.

Participants

Codae

Plans

The hashpoint was clearly on private property. I called ahead the night before to a phone number I obtained by Googling the address, but all I got was a "full inbox" message. So I decided to take the bus up to the house and get permission on site.

Expedition

I got to the lot frontage without incident. Even from the cul-de-sac, there's a great view over the front fence and the house itself across San Francisco Bay.

I couldn't enter the property due to fencing, and I got no reply when I pressed the "call" buttons on the electronic locks for the gates (one pedestrian, one automotive). But someone was mowing the side yard, so I decided to wait around until I caught someone's attention.

The attention came from a couple of large golden dogs, who after the lawnmower was shut off ran up to the gate, barking loudly. A man followed behind. I asked permission to enter the front yard "to take some pictures", and his response was (to the best of my recollection),

"No. Definitely no. Sorry."

I thus apologized for his time and retreated to the other side of the cul-de-sac to get some documentary photographs.

I had a short wait at the bus stop for the return trip. I observed that it comprised a memorial to, I presume, two deceased residents. It was equipped with a brick giving latitude, longitude, and altitude; according to my GPS, the former read about a second too far north. I didn't have time to do the math to check the other two (my GPS reports in milliminutes, and the monument is in seconds).

Tracklog

Photos

  • The fence that stymied me, with an inadequate-contrast view of the Bay and its margins beyond.

  • Coordinates from the other side of the cul-de-sac: not my closest point, but in the general vicinity.

  • A self-marking landmark.
