On the side of SW marine drive. How easy is that?

Details

thepiguy first reached the site at ~7:45 on his way to work, without even knowing it!

It wasn't until I got to work and checked the map that I realized I had already been there. I stopped again on the way home to take some pictures. Nobody else was there, unless you count the 80ish people that drove by while I was standing there. I got honked at once, but I think that was just because the hash was on a blind corner, and they almost hit me.

According to google, the location was on the other side of the very large hedge, in the driveway of a very large and expensive house. My location on the side of the road was within 1" of both latitude and longitude though, more than close enough for me!
