Location

A dirt road in Dennis Township, Cape May County.

Participants

Jevanyn and company

Plans

Visiting family in the area, we'll swing past here and see if it's reachable.

Expedition

We got as close as the turnoff for the road. It looks like it cuts around the intersection, behind what turns out to be a municipal dump, which is closed due to an "investigation". The road itself is gated off. The gate was open, but the No Trespassing sign precluded going any further. Also, my GPS was on the fritz that day for no apparent reason, so the geohashing app wasn't going to verify my location anyway.

This user earned the Blinded by Science Consolation Prize

by failing to reach the 2015-01-11/40,-74 (40, -74) geohash on date 2015-01-11 through technological ineptitude.

Photos

Mouse trap bowling alley and lounge, nearby @39.2231,-74.7717
I wouldn't go down 'that' road in a minivan. Also, no trespassing signage. @39.2239,-74.7988
