Location

Turned out to be in the middle of an industrial yard in L.A.

Participants

Plans

I was running an errand, and had found that this hash was about 15 minutes out of my way. Decided to go for it.

Expedition

I got there and realized that the hashpoint was in the middle of a fenced yard with lots of trucks, equipment, and other heavy machinery. Something to do with gas I think. Anyway I didn't feel like finding someone and explaining geohashing to them in the slim hope that they'd let me into this industrial area for it, and I was low on time so the quest was unfortunately abandoned.

Photos

Pretty close!

Achievements

Erik r earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost (60m) reaching the (34, -118) geohash on 2015-07-22.
