Location

On the golf course of the Columbia Edgewater country club

Participants

Jim

Plans

Go by on my way to visit with friends in the evening.

Expedition

On the way there, I made another attempt at the other nearby hashpoint that was nearby here a few weeks ago, but had no luck.

I had a feeling that the straightforward approach of walking in the front door of the country club wasn't going to work, so I checked to see if there was a side way onto the golf course, but I only found fences.

So, I drove up to the front of the country club and walked in. I found someone in an office and asked if I could go out onto the golf course. I was told "No you may not" without even asking or waiting to find out why I might want to do such a thing. I then attempted to explain why I would want to do such a silly thing. They were unmoved by the call of the Internet, which may explain why they weren't Geohashing.

They seemed to think that the point was next door. (It wasn't.) I finally took the hint that I (or my kind) wasn't welcome there and wandered off.
