Location

Flemington

Participants

Team Jevanyn

Plans

Home early from work at AT&T, because I was resigning to take a new job at Picatinny Arsenal. (Which will probably cause your neck to whiplash, if you've been following my employment record of late.) The geohash was in Flemington, a reachable spot about 10 miles or so from home, so I drove us all down.

Expedition

I had a short day at work (more on that later) and stopped by Flemington for the geohash. It should be ten feet of the side of the road from where we parked. -- Jevanyn (talk) @40.4732,-74.8775 13:48, 13 September 2013 (EDT)

Closest approach is here, inside the margin of error. Long time no geohash, nice to have a chance to do this again :-) -- Jevanyn (talk) @40.4732,-74.8773 13:55, 13 September 2013 (EDT)

Photos

I still haven't figured out how to tell my phone that photographs need to be rotated in the file, so that when they're shared they're right-side up. it thinks as long as it rotates them on the screen that's enough #firstworldproblems.

Closest intersection, plus a silly face @40.4732,-74.8784
The view east (I'll fix the orientation when I get to a real computer) @40.4733,-74.8782
The view west (ibid) @40.4733,-74.8782
Nice hillside view to the northwest @40.4733,-74.8782
