Location

The house at the bend of Winding Ridge Way, in Warren, Somerset County

Participants

Jevanyn, if he has wheels after work.

Plans

Jevanyn: I work in Springfield now, and travel a long stretch of US-22 daily. This location is about a mile out of my way. It's the front lawn, and the street is within the margin. Today, however, transportation is complicated and I may not have the time to make the side trip on the way home. I might have to go after 10PM (when the kids are asleep), or at least after dinner and bring my son along.

Expedition

I got a late start out of work, so I really didn't have time to hang around at the geohash. It's a pretty upscale neighborhood, and the geohash was about 10-15 feet from the curb on the front lawn of the house pictured below. The stop only took me 10 minutes out of my way, thankfully, so I may get into the geohashing habit again for locations along my commute.

Photos

Achievements

This was almost a without-GPS geohash expedition, since my phone couldn't figure out where it was for most of the drive to Warren.
