Location

In front of a house on Blossom Hill Road near CA-85 (California State Highway 85), in south San Jose.

Participants

Chandru

Plans

After checking the coordinate calculator, I realized that the hashpoint was close enough to easily bike to.

Expedition

I am back home for the holidays, and decided to fire up the coordinate calculator. Luckily, the hashpoint was an easy bike ride away!

I was able to follow Foxworthy Avenue until it turned into Pearl, then I turned onto Hillsdale, which itself turns into Snell.

On Hillsdale, I passed by a few quarries that appear to still be in operation.

On Snell, I passed by the Martial Cottle Park, which consists of trails and farms (I'm not sure where exactly the produce is sold).

I turned right onto Blossom Hill, and the hashpoint was in front of a house that was between a strip mall and the entrance for highway 85.

Going back, I took the scenic route and found a lot of interesting places. After passing through a few suburban tracts, I continued on the Cottle Park Trail, which generally parallels Chynoweth Ave. I also found a few other trails (87 Bikeway and Guadalupe River) that I intend to explore soon. This is why I love geohashing!
