Location

In a backyard in Castro Valley, California.

Participants

Plans

Get to the vicinity of the geohash by public transport, walk the rest of the way, hope the homeowner is amenable to a visit, and return the same way.

Expedition

I didn't reach the neighborhood until after dark. Plus, it was raining a little bit, and I hadn't prepared for that. However, it had let up by the time I had to take out my electronic equipment.

When I got to the target house, it appeared nobody was home. I got a picture documenting how close I got before the next-door neighbor advised me to leave (the first negative interaction I've had while geohashing; probably not coincidentally, my first post-nightfall interaction).

Tracklog

Photos

The closest I got.

Achievements

This user earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost reaching the (37, -122) geohash on 2014-03-05.
