Location

Just off to the side of one Columbet Avenue, in San Martin.

Participants

sporeball

Plans

My mother agreed to help me make this attempt by car in the evening.

Expedition

We left for the hashpoint at 6:00 PM. The sky was completely dark by this time, and my look at the coordinates a few hours before had been cursory, so I wasn't quite sure how this attempt would go.

By 6:30, we had made it to the hashpoint... almost. Columbet Avenue has no streetlights, so I really couldn't see much, but it seemed as though the hashpoint might have landed within a complete stranger's front yard. The best I could do was stand some feet away, behind the property's fence; to get any closer, I'd have to wander 20 feet up the road and into said front yard. Oh well. I'll take a consolation prize here.

Photos

Proof of my location.

Achievements

sporeball earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost reaching the (37, -121) geohash on 2022-01-20.
