About

Expedition

NWoodruff

Google maps sent me down a street that was no longer a street. I had to find my own way to the hash point. I do have the track log if any one is interested in my path that I had to take to find the hash point. Byron road here [1] is now blocked from public access.

I drove around for quite some time. I almost gave up. But when I got within 1 mile of the hash point. I almost decided to walk from that point. I'm glad that I decided to drive around some more. I eventually found the south end of the road that Byron road was supposed to turn on from the North end.

I walked to the house and knocked on the door. Denise answered the door. I explained myself and geohashing. I told her that I wanted to access a GPS coordinate about 100 feet into her woods. She told me that it would be Okay. Permission Granted.

I found the Geohash point with little problem. I took a few pictures and then headed back for Norcross.

Google maps sent me down a road that is now blocked from public access. I was now on my own to find the hash location with out any map.
From where I parked, there was 156 feet to go into the woods.
1.25 feet to go. Close enough.
Stupid grin™
Time of day.
