Location

In the Raritan River, line of sight from the walking/biking paths in Duke Island Park.

Participants

  • Jevanyn (talk), although I'm supposed to be painting that day.
  • User:Signore Galilei (talk) potentially? I should be available, though it's a bit of a drive from the other side of the graticule. EDIT: It looks like the weather isn't cooperating, so I don't think I will make the drive.

Plans

There is a parking lot nearby, this is within easy reach.

The river itself will likely be high from rain at that time, so an aquahash should not be attempted unless you have a Jet-ski or something (I don't know where one would put into the river, but I think I've seen kayaks at this location in the past.)

  • Geohash Droid puts the hash on the south bank of the river rather than in the water, for what it's worth. I presume we'd still park in the lot on the North side? Signore Galilei (talk) 16:23, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Expedition

  • I've been to this exact spot in Duke Island Park a dozen times! Let's get a group together at 4PM weather permitting! -- Jevanyn (talk) 11:45, 14 July 2023 (EDT)
  • I'm here, in the green t-shirt and (vintage) Somerset Patriots cap. Chilling in the parking lot, charging my phone, waiting to see if it will stop raining entirely or not. -- Jevanyn (talk) @40.5509,-74.6710 15:33, 16 July 2023 (EDT)
  • If your drive all the way down to parking lot D, it's a lot closer to the geohash -- Jevanyn (talk) @40.5499,-74.6720 15:36, 16 July 2023 (EDT)
