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

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.

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.

-I drove there in the evening after leaving the office.  It was dark when I was at the hashpoint, so I have no interesting photos.  The New and Different part of today's expedition for me was driving in Boston.  I really try to avoid driving in Boston, but it was the only reasonable way to get from my office (in Cambridge) to Plymouth.
