This looked interesting: just under the glide path for the general-aviation Lowell City Airport. It wasn't clear whether I would be able to get access. I thought it was pretty likely I'd find "Airport-No Trespassing" signs. Nonetheless it was a nice evening and nobody was home when I came home from work so I left a note that said "Geohashing in Lowell. Home 8-830" and gave it a shot.
It was in fact accessible. I was able to park nearby and walk along a grassy/brushy tractor road far enough from the adjoining houses that it didn't feel intrusive, and I saw no signs restricting access. The hashpoint was on a slope with a nice view of the airport. It's a pretty sleepy place: the only action I could see was a couple of deer running past a hangar.
I might have been more cautious had I read this news article ahead of time. Seems like this little airport has more excitement than it might like!
