A shot at the 1st gate we tried
One of Vicki and the dogs at our closest point to the location
A blurry & reflective shot of the GPS at our closest point.
On the way home, we stopped at an archery shop in nearby Gilroy with a 3D practice target of a Velociraptor, which seemed somehow appropriate.
The dirt road to the geohash point is visible to the right of this picture; unfortunately, it's completely inaccessible to the public.
Not wanting to be mistaken for a hunter and referred to the Sheriff's Department, I took this picture and skedaddled.
