The geohash appears to be just inside the woods off of Virginia Line Rd in Person County, and about 300 ft south of the NC/VA border.  We'll be there at 16:00 - get it? Pi = 3.14159 or 3 14 1593 ...uh 1600?  Oh well, sounded intelligent when I thought of it. Will have sodas and cookies. --[[User:Ncbears|NCBears]] 14:22, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
