These coordinates are in Hopedale in the Boston, Massachusetts graticule on 2008-05-24. They are in somebody's house so they will certainly not be reached exactly, but perhaps they can expect some odd passers-by. Nearby points of interest (and fallback locations if a large group shows up) include a baseball field and a cemetery.

This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: huge success. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Does documentation of the semi proof provide any further proof?
Later, the science was abandoned in favor of the manual recovery.
The user pictured earned the Circus Geohash Achievement
By the time sundown approached, we desired food and drink, and walked a couple blocks to the town square, where there was pizza and chess. Liz told a very entertaining story about the time she was hit by an SUV and went flying through the air. There was an argument about initial-stress-derived nouns and the correct pronunciation of "annex".
If you have pictures, either upload them here or link them on this page. Glench's Photos.
We're looking forward to more weekends in weirder places! Next time, we'll bring more food and more games. Also, if there are open spaces, kites. [Kites!! -j]
