About
This hash is located in the Boston, MA graticule in Reading, MA in the outer lane on the south-bound side of I-95.
Closest approach is the circle at the end of Heather Dr. off South St. off Main St. A caravan past the point could be arranged after the initial meetup.
Closest public transit is Haverhill commuter line from North Station at 2:45pm.
Arrives at Reading Station at 3:14pm.
Two mile walk: SE Lincoln, R Minot, R Main, R South, L Heather
Best meet up after at the Ninety-Nine Pub/10 Main St or at Sturges Park?
Weather will be: hot, maybe a thunder storm.
Plans for a Caravan
Loch How cool would it be to form a caravan to drive through the hash right at 4:00? Meet at the Sturges Park between 3:30-3:45 and then do the caravan. Return to Sturges Park to play followed by the Ninety Nines.
This would be a cool way to get the Speed Racer Geohash achievement.
Caravan Directions Print them. Goes from Sturges through the hash and back to Sturges. It says 4 minutes to the hash so we should leave Sturges at 3:55 and drive a bit slow for padding.
Attendance plans
- Randall has to suddenly be in New York and will not be there this time, unfortunately.
- Pinecone will bring card games.
- hendusoone will drive through the exact point a bit before 1:00 pm, on his way to get his tires aligned (but will not be there at any other time).
- Bake will not attend.
- CA will be there if he can work out transportation (which is probable). He likes Loch's above plans.
- Ben intends to be there. If anyone needs a ride and wants to take the T (orange line) to Wellington station, I live right there.
- Adam will try to head over from Burlington. Meeting at Sturges Park and doing a caravan through the hash sounds like a good idea to me.
- Matt lives half a mile from the very spot, but has to leave home at 4:00, and is thus quite upset. I'd recommend Sturges park as a meetup before hand. I'll probably stop by between 3 and 4 to see who shows up...
- Keith will arrive at the Commuter Rail station at 4:54, and track down the rest of the team on foot. Will search the open grounds first, then the feeding zone.
- Dan will try to attend, with friends!
