Location
Sidewalk of Colburn St. in East Brunswick, New Jersey. The neighborhood is tucked in between NJ-18 and a lake, on the far side of which lies the Cook-Douglass campus of Rutgers University.
Participants
Jevanyn and Evan
Plans
After reaching the November 6 geohash, I decided to stop here on the way back.
Expedition
On the way back from the 2010-11-06 geohash, I stopped in E. Brunswick for the geohash from the day before. -- Jevanyn @40.4716,-74.4145 17:09, 06 November 2010 (EDT)
I put my trust in Sprint Navigation to give us decent directions there from Middletown. It succeeded in directing us, but showed a preference for toll roads (Parkway and Turnpike). I was on the Parkway before I could avoid it, but ignored the turn for the Turnpike, knowing the US-1 was a simpler route with no tolls. SprintNav recalculated the route in plenty of time to direct me onto US-1 (which I was going to do anyway).
Achievements
