So close yet so far.

Location

In a yard off Lexington Avenue in Eagan, MN.

Participants

Plans

Kyrkazakh (talk) hopes to visit this near the crack of dawn, though she thinks it's possible the hash will be too far onto private property to be ethically attempted (without permission). Maybe a poster can be left behind! :)

Expedition

Kyrkazakh (talk) actually ended up arriving around 1 pm near the site, parking in a lot she thought would belong to a thriving home goods business but appears to actually be entirely abandoned and for sale. I walked up the large asphalt sidewalk towards the hash point but, as I suspected, it was just a tad too far into someone's yard, probably next to a big rock and some trees. I must maintain the standard code of conduct and I had no desire to knock on a stranger's door, so I left a geohashing poster nearby, snapped a couple pics, and hustled back to my car to escape the cold winds. Somehow only my second trespassing achievement.

Photos

Empty lot I parked at.
How long since this car has been moved?
Aesthetic and slightly creepy for-sale sign.
Suburbia, part... 4?
Got pretty close I suppose.
A photo of the approximate hash site (tried to avoid showing much of the house or other personal info).
Wow dead plants!
Ah, well...

Achievements

Kyrkazakh earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost reaching the (44, -93) geohash on 2024-11-16.
