Location

Participants

Jim

Plans

Go by on my way home in the evening

Expedition

Expedition one

The plan was to take my newly printed out geohash map and head by the hashpoint on my way home, but it turned out that it was kinda late by the time I was fully on my way. I continued on to the hashpoint for a while, and then realized that it was also a residential neighborhood, and wandering around late at night was probably not going to be welcome, so I gave up and headed home, especially since I thought I needed to get onto the front walk to get the hashpoint.

Expedition two

A few days later I made another attempt at this hashpoint, and was much more successful.

I parked nearby and walked along the sidewalk and managed to get my GPS under 10 meters from the hashpoint, so I'm able to claim success without needing to venture onto the property or get permission!
