[[Category:Meetup in {{{lat}}} {{{lon}}}| ]]

This geohash is located about 30 meters offshore of a park, in Wassachuset Reservoir.

People

Randall, davean, and Tesia got within about 35 meters of this hash around 5:15 PM. We couldn't find any signs of boats anywhere near the dike (it's a reservoir, so perhaps they're touchier about who does what in it). It was much too deep to wade, and we weren't hardcore enough to jump in. Next time!

Pictures
Did you know there's a Wikipedia article on that default XP background photo?
The entrance to the park/dike.
Proof of location, if you accept my shell script.
Proof that I couldn't QUITE get there without getting wet.
But it's as close as possible!
And look what license plate we spotted on the way.
