Location

In the middle of a residential street in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Participants

Sara

Planning

Good Cape Cod hashpoint
And I'm nearby - in Cambridge --
Devirginalize!

The challenging part:
I'm scared to drive in Boston --
Wait 'til Rush Hour's done.

Expedition

Rare sight on xway:
An Alaska license plate!
(Pic came out blurry.)

Drove about an hour
To quiet suburban street:
Peter Road, Plymouth

Crickets chirp, tall trees
GPS dance with flashlight
Smells of evergreen

Marked the road with chalk.
Psyched about cherry ribbon,
Drove back to Springfield.

Sara earned the Graticule Unlocked Achievement

by being the first to reach any hashpoint in the (41, -70) graticule, here, on 2009-08-06.

Photos

The marker on the pavement
The GPS
