This is the second geohash I've attempted that was adjacent to the Souhegan River, but this time I was unsuccessful. I tried to reach this hash after work, but found that it was on private property and, despite the dirt road shown on Google Maps, inaccessible by car. I got about 1/5 of a mile away and found that the road was deliberately blocked by a couple of logs, so I decided to go no further. There was a nearby hill I could climb to get a view of the field with the geohash in it, so I climbed up there and snapped a picture just as the sun was setting. Sorry for the lousy pics, I didn't have a real camera with me and had to use my phone.

An overview of the area, showing how far I got. Note the Souhegan River to the north.
The log blocking the road.
Near the log was this path into the field. It looks deceiving, but that hill is too steep for anything other than an ATV.
A view of the field from that hill. The geohash is somewhere near the light colored pile of dirt on the left.
Sunset over the geohash.
Here is the proof I got within .22 miles of the geohash: screenshots from the CotoGPS program running on my Palm Centro.
