Location
In a front garden in Oakland, California.
Participants
Plans
Ride the bus to the vicinity, walk to the geohash, and then reverse.
Expedition
The first mishap came when I mistook Interstate 580 for State Highway 13 and got off the bus about a mile short of where I intended. I then had nothing to do but to continue, walking, up the hill until the next bus caught up to me.
The second mishap came after I exited the bus in the right neighborhood, when I mistook the road I planned to follow for a highway offramp and continued past it. A little backtracking corrected this error.
Then I made it to the hashpoint and took a bunch of photos, most of which failed to display the GPS screen readably owing to the high, bright sun. I eventually satisfied myself and left. Not entirely coincidentally, this was at about the time a confused-looking man came down the driveway to fill (or maybe move) the yard waste bin and started watching me silently.
On the way back, I used the same bus I had mistakenly exited earlier. I noticed this because its identification number was the memorable 1337. However, the bus itself was not very elite, having a partially nonfunctional status display that would inform riders of a pending "' REQUEST" upon a passenger's requesting a stop.
And then I finally got off the bus a few blocks before reaching home base for no good reason.
Tracklog
Photos
The location of the geohash, featuring a walk up to the front door of the house just left of frame, a dark patch from which a small stream passes underground, and a backpack (for scale, or perhaps out of apathy as to its inclusion in the picture.)
And, yes, this is the right spot.
