Location
On Hogan Rd north of Gorham, New Hampshire, USA
Participants
Expedition
Having completed a family trip with younger cousins to a spot about 20 miles south of this hashpoint, G. convinced the rest of the family to take this longer route home after supper to pick up a hashpoint in another virgin graticule which lay right at the edge of a road. We left the pub about 7 pm, and reached Gorham just before 7:30. It turns out it's quite hard to cross the Androscoggin River in Gorham, and requires a 3-mile detour to the east to reach a bridge. Hogan Rd then goes west from the bridge. After about 20 minutes of 10 mph driving along this passable but quite rough forest road, we had come within 1.2 km of the hashpoint. At that point we encountered a Private Road sign and a big homebuilt barrier across the road. The rest of the family offered to wait while G. walked to the hashpoint and back, but with a 2-hour trip home still ahead and dusk closing in, we took the No Trespassing photo and headed home.
