Location

A rural front yard

Participants

Expedition

Plus Codes addresses came up while working during the day and I realized that the short Plus Codes used in Google Maps would be convenient for exploring geohash locations since the part left off relates directly to the graticule. Looking at the location for this graticule (northwest of my home) I noticed it was right of a road not far from the main highway. I spoke with Robartst and Gijobarts and we hastily made plans to visit. The drive north was beautiful with the sun setting over the coastal range providing great light for in the Sacramento Valley, but we didn't make it to the geohash until about 19:00, after it was fully dark. It was very difficult to take pictures in the dark, especially since we did not want to disturb any nearby neighbors (but we still took some). As we left, we noticed that some of the graves in a nearby cemetary were decorated with LED light strings. Afterward we had a late supper at Arby's in the Love's Truck Stop in Williams. We hang out there for a while because 2023-08-12 38 -121 was literally on our way home. Robartsd (talk)
