Expedition

I told Gwynnath about 20 minutes before I planned to leave, and she was gung ho enough to join me that she got herself and Grace (not pictured) ready to go without holding me up.

• The goal is to be there at 9:26:53 --Jevanyn (talk) -- Jevanyn (talk) 06:57, 14 March 2015 (EDT)

And we were on the street at that time. I suppose I was hoping someone else would make the attempt as well, but alas it was not so.

We did a bit of circling about, as I wasn't immediately sure which side of the street the geohash was on, until I recognized the woods and driveway. It looks different from the ground, under a foot of snow.

• We're here! The hash point is just off the road into the snowy woods. -- Jevanyn (talk) @40.8093,-74.7734 09:28, 14 March 2015 (EDT)

• 5 meters it is! -- Jevanyn (talk) @40.8089,-74.7735 09:30, 14 March 2015 (EDT)

The hashpoint was in the trees just off the driveway, but I wanted to come and go without a trace, once within the GPS's margin for error, I took my picture and then got out of the rain.

Being in Washington Township gave us an excuse to play Ingress on the way back. I was lucky to find an existing link between Branchburg and Flemington, made links down to both ends from a park on Naughright Rd., forming a huge control field.

Then we stopped in town, originally for coffee, at Long Valley Bagels, which has excellent THEC¹ sandwiches.

All in all, a fine adventure was had by all!
