The San Jose meetup for this date appears to be in the Milpitas hills, right on the shoulder of one of the roads randomly snaking its way through said hills. Er... in theory, anyway. In one of Google Maps' views, there is an honest-to-gosh named road that one can traverse to the geohash location; try to get driving directions to the hash point, though, and you're given truncated instructions, aborted several miles short of the desired point in question. (Satellite evidence is available but inconclusive.) I'm willing to give it a go, though, assuming that there is nothing uber-scary en route likely to destroy the transmission of my low-slung vehicle of choice.
I'll probably try making my way towards the location sometime between late morning and mid-afternoon, depending on just how energetic I feel come morning. I'll give this page an eyeball beforehand, just in case someone wants to come with and have a go at things, carpool style. --Youhas 10:12, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
