The Geohash
The hash site was successfully reached by bicycle around 4:30 PM by Ben and Grace. Ben hails from Providence, and met Grace at her Norton abode before setting out for the site. It turns out that the state park, while nice, did not provide straightforward access to the hash. The park is really just a beach by the lake, and does not have any sort of trail map for navigation. We ended up finding an access road behind the neighboring industrial park that passed within 15 meters of the hash (it's right off of John Quincy Adams Road, across from Robert Treat Paine Drive). The road might be part of the industrial park, or part of the state park; it was paved for most of it, but not signed, and it seemed no one felt strongly about keeping people out (no fences or No Trespassing signs). We don't own a GPS receiver, so we estimated the location based on landmarks and Google Maps. I can state with confidence that we were within 10 meters of the hash.
- Pix, Because It Did Happen
Ben standing at the site, holding his, uh, "GPS unit".
Ben with a nearby warehouse in the background. The land in that direction is (presumably) privately owned.
A path into the state park, garnished with an awful lot of broken electronics and other trash. The rocks have the phrase "White Power" written on them in white spray paint.
Grace looking down the access road. To the right, the state park; to the left, corporate America.
Ben standing with his bike, which he rode to the site from his home in Providence, RI.
Grace standing with her bike, which she rode to the site from her home Norton, MA. This gets us each the Bicycle Geohash achievement, hoorah!
Our little message to the world.
