Location

Blair Drive, near the Matheny Center, in Peapack and Gladstone, Somerset County.

Participants

Jevanyn
Gwynnath
Kyukket
Evan
Charlie the Velociraptor

Plans

After going Christmas tree shopping, we'll drive up US 202/206 a few miles into P&G (not that P&G), and follow Blair Road all the way past the Matheny Center. At some point it intersects with, or the name changes to, Blair Drive.

Expedition

I expected Blair Road to go past and around the Matheny Center, a complex of buildings just north of the geohash. What I hadn't expected was that all of Blair Road and Blair Drive was gated/signed as a private roads. The intersection at Main Street in Peapack was blocked by a motorized electric gate, a stark contrast to the vine-covered stone archway at the entrace. At an intersection on Highland Ave., another "Private Road" sign denied us from turning onto Blair Road. At the end of Highland Avenue, the road turned left, and a large, verbose signboard informed us that the Matheny Medical and Educational Center was private property surveilled (is that even a real word?) by security cameras.

We were all disappointed, with the geohash being so close to home and yet unreachable. Evan said, "Can we go around another way to get there?" But it was not to be.
