Location

The hash was in the south side (eastbound) lane of Tangmere Crescent in Markham, neighbourhood of Miliken.

Participants

Splitdipless

Plans

I have a free evening, why not Geohash a point in surburbia? Splitdipless 10:33, 20 September 2012 (EDT)

Expedition

In the morning, I grabbed my GPS and camera before going to work. Then it hit me at work... When was the last time I used my GPS? Luckily, there was still some charge left on the batteries. Enough to find the geohashing point. Google maps pointed me most of the way, getting me to at least a place I could park on Tangmere Cresent in Miliken. I got out of my car for the rest. I could have done a Speed Racer, but decided to get out for some better pictures.

Photos

Right on the money.
Stupid grin: check.
Not a bad little neighbourhood.

Achievements

Nothing new.
