Location

In front of a hospital / occupational therapy center in Manville.

Participants

Jevanyn (talk), unless I can talk Kyukket into going instead.

Plans

Hmm, Thursdays are busy, don't know if I can get out to this one tonight -- Jevanyn (talk) 10:08, 12 December 2013 (EST)

It's that close to home, I have to at least recon it. -- Jevanyn (talk) 10:47, 12 December 2013 (EST)

Expedition

We're here! -- Jevanyn (talk) @40.5448,-74.5445 20:37, 12 December 2013 (EST)

Like I said, Thursdays are busy. My wife wanted to drop me off at home with the kids while she went to choir practice. But I said, "No, I want the car, the geohash is in Manville." She's the understanding kind, so I dropped her (and Evan, who promised to stay out of the way) while I took Sleeping Bebe to the geohash.

The drive was about 15 minutes (I didn't need turn-by-turn navigation until the last block or two.) The geohash was in the parking lot outside an office complex, nice place with an open central atrium. The occupational rehab center was the next building over.

Quick drive back, and picked up Gwynnath and Evan with no delay.
