Expedition

Not too far from 2017-07-25_47_-122, this was easy enough to check out on the way to work.

I pulled into the Sheridan Beach neighborhood and drove past the fenced yard containing the geohash - house not for sale. This will be a no public access geohash.

After parking, I walked along the trail to see the view from that angle - 18 meters away - then around the block to walk in front of the house - 20 meters away.

Running through the property is McAleer creek, and quite nearby is a McAleer creek bypass, required to prevent flooding. We got more than 2" of rain this last weekend, so this bypass was running with a lot of water. Cool stuff - though I wonder what the basements of some of the older houses look (and smell) like.

Anyhow, interesting expedition, but point not reached.
