Location

Laurel Lane, Chester

Participants

Jevanyn (talk)

Plans

Originally, it was a quick side trip as part of my drive home.

Expedition

I should get the "I didn't know my GPS could do that" achievement. On the way here, the voice guidance said, "In a quarter mile, Laurel Place makes a slight left, and becomes Laurel Lane." And it sounded surprised! -- Jevanyn (talk) 18:58, 11 December 2013 (EST)

Short version of the story: left work, followed GPS directions to geohash, took pictures. There was no signal where I was, so I didn't have driving directions home. I had a map, so I figured I'd go back to the road, turn left three times and get back to 206. Well, the third left took me east, away from 206, didn't notice until I was almost to Morristown. Stopped to get GPS directions, sent me further east toward 202. Followed directions along more little back roads, stopped to let a deer cross the road. Eventually made it back to the highway & home. -- Jevanyn (talk) 19:03, 11 December 2013 (EST)

My silly grin. In the dark. And of course it's rotated wrong. Sigh. @40.5731,-74.6029
