Location

In front of a very nice home in the DC suburbs

Participants

Expedition

This hash was very close to my home, so I thought I might as well use some free time today to drive out and snag the hashpoint. I could see on the Satellite map that the hashpoint was right in front of a gated house, just off their driveway, and it was probably too close to the House for me to actually stand on the point itself. However, I've always believed that if I can get to within 10 meters of the point, the expedition is successful, so I made that my goal for the journey.

Sure enough, when I drove there I found that I could be clearly outside their gated fence and be within 10 meters of the point. I took a picture from the spot I reached (although not of the house itself, obviously) and a screenshot to prove that I came within 7 meters. From there, I drove back home and continued my teleworking.
