Location

In the parking lot of Starlight Limousine Service in Blauvelt, New York

Participants

Plans

This morning I biked from my home in Manhattan to work in Rockland County (about 27 km), for the very first time since starting this job three months ago... they had organized it for Earth Day. At 2pm I finally got a chance to check geohashing.info ... and where should today's hash be but 7.3 km from work, in a clearly public parking lot off a main road! And with bike-friendly roads or bike paths most of the way there. I would never normally have a chance to get such a hash, since on all other days I'd taken the shuttle bus to work. Clearly the universe was asking me to go for it.

However, I did not want to bike all the way home afterward (food options are slim up here, plus I had stuff to do in the city) so I really needed to catch the last bus home at 6pm.

TO BE CONTINUED...
