I was going to wait around to see if anyone else would show, even though I was fairly positive no one would, but, it was too bright for me to play my Nintendo DS. So I snapped some photos and was back at the car by 4:45. | I was going to wait around to see if anyone else would show, even though I was fairly positive no one would, but, it was too bright for me to play my Nintendo DS.

I, Mike, went to check out today's geohash. According to Google Maps, the hash is on the shoulder of the northbound 710 freeway just before the Rosecrans offramp in Compton.
I got there about 4:20 and approached the hash by walking down the adjacent LA River Bike Path from Rosecrans Blvd. Unlike much of the LA River, I was surprised to find the bike path in good shape, and the graffiti was largely abated. Kudos to the City of Paramount. As I walked along the river I saw ducks and other birds playing the in water. To get to the actual location, I ran down the berm that separates the river from the freeway and snapped a picture between the freeway iceplant and the pepper trees.
I was going to wait around to see if anyone else would show, even though I was fairly positive no one would, but, it was too bright for me to play my Nintendo DS. So I snapped some photos and was back at the car by 4:45.
