3/14/15 9:26:53. What do you think I'm going to want to do :-)

Expedition

I told Gwynnath about 20 minutes before I planned to leave, and she was gung ho enough to join me that she got herself and Grace (not pictured) ready to go without holding me up.

The goal is to be there at 9:26:53 --Jevanyn (talk) -- Jevanyn (talk) 06:57, 14 March 2015 (EDT)

And we were on the street at that time. I suppose I was hoping someone else would make the attempt as well, but alas it was not so.

We did a bit of circling about, as I wasn't immediately sure which side of the street the geohash was on, until I recognized the woods and driveway. It looks different from the ground, under a foot of snow.

We're here! The hash point is just off the road into the snowy woods. -- Jevanyn (talk) @40.8093,-74.7734 09:28, 14 March 2015 (EDT)

5 meters it is! -- Jevanyn (talk) @40.8089,-74.7735 09:30, 14 March 2015 (EDT)

The hashpoint was in the trees just off the driveway, but I wanted to come and go without a trace, once within the GPS's margin for error, I took my picture and then got out of the rain.

Being in Washington Township gave us an excuse to play Ingress on the way back. I was lucky to find an existing link between Branchburg and Flemington, made links down to both ends from a park on Naughright Rd., forming a huge control field.

Then we stopped in town, originally for coffee, at Long Valley Bagels, which has excellent THEC¹ sandwiches.

All in all, a fine adventure was had by all!

Photos

Right up this driveway, first large-ish tree on the left. (I'm sending the photo from the car because rain) @40.8093,-74.7735
On the way back, we played a little Ingress. +16817 mind units!

Achievements

Jevanyn earned the Pi Day Achievement

by visiting a hash point on Pi Day (40, -74) geohash on 2015-03-14.

Jevanyn (talk) issued a challenge for the Tale of Two Hashes achievement

by geohashing in a place named Washington from the (40, -74) geohash on 2015-03-14.

¹THEC: Taylor Ham, Egg, and Cheese, something of a New Jersey tradition.
