About
I had checked the Atlanta map this morning for the hash point and it was way too far south for me to make it today. I then check this graticule and it was about 6 tenths of a mile out of my way driving to the Interstate from work on my way home. There is no reason why I shouldn't make this hash point.
People
I didn't need my eTrex for this hash point because it is not that far out of my way when driving home from work. I noticed that the hash point was in the back yard of someones house. I drove up on the house and took a picture of the eTrex showing 159 feet to go in case permission was not granted to access the property.
I knocked on the door of the house and James answered the door. I introduced myself and explained the world of Geohashing to him. James is a very friendly man in his late 50's to early 60's. He granted me permission to access his back yard and stayed by his front door.
I walked into his back yard in search of the hash point only to find out that the actual hash point is under a large wet bush. Me being in a suit and tie did not feel like getting on my hands and knees to make it under the bush only to get soaked. I settled on 4 feet to go and thought "Close Enough".
I took a picture of my eTrex, the bush and the back yard. I then made my way back to the front door and thanked James. I let him keep the google map and the ambassador hand out that I printed up. I also informed James on how to find this website and then made my way back to my truck to go home.

From the road there was 159 feet to go.
The actual spot is under a rain soaked bush. I didn't feel like climbing in and getting all wet just to find the exact spot. 4 feet is close enough.
The hash point is 4 feet under this bush.
A view of the back yard. A pretty back yard. It was all muddy from raining all day though.
