Location

Inside private property within few blocks of Copper's childhood neighborhood.

Participants

Copper

Expedition

So I decided to drive a few (dozen) km to try and get it. Unfortunately, this being my first attempt at reaching a geohash, I wasn't aware of the requirement to capture the hash point within the GPS accuracy circle in order to claim a succesful expedition.

As the point lay inside private property, I parked as closed as I could and proceeded to take screenshots. Further analysis with Google Maps confirms I couldn't possibly have come closer than the 20m I missed it by.

Oh well, at least I get the consolation achievement.

Photos

Couldn't quite make it!
Realizing I wouldn't make it on the way to the closest approach.

Achievements

Copper earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost (20.63 m) reaching the (-23, -47) geohash on 2018-05-21.

Copper earned the 2018 Geohashing Day achievement

by celebrating in the (-23, -47) graticule on May 21st 2018.
