Location
In the woods in La Verpillière.
Participants
Expedition
I took the train at Lyon-Jean-Macé and arrived in La Verpillière shortly before 14:30.
The geohash was located in the woods just behind the gendarmerie brigade. I considered ringing at the door and asking for the permission to cross the premises but my better judgment decided against it.
Instead, I took a pathway around the woods to access the coordinates from the opposite direction. A narrow creek flowed between the path and the woods. Conveniently, a couple of stair steps and a few rocks provided me with a mean to cross while keeping my feet dry.
I reached the coordinates at 15:00, recorded proof then went back towards the train station taking the same route I had walked on my way in, which led me back in front of the gendarmerie brigade.
As I was walking by, two gendarmes came out and asked me to answer a few questions. They were curious to know why I was circling around the place and why I had previously photographed the building. I explained what geohashing is and after an ID check and an advice against doing suspicious stuff in the current context, I was allowed to go.
