Location

Right on the walkway on the jetty in the middle of the St. Croix River. Easily accessible by foot from downtown Hudson.

There's a large grassy park along the waterfront, as well as a beach area at the end of the jetty. (Which actually is the causeway that remains from the old bridge, prior to the I-94 bridge. There's still some of the original foundations at the end of the jetty as well.) Also plenty of restaurants/pubs very close by.

Participants

Plans

Nathan lives less than a mile from here, and plans to attend via bike.

Expedition

Successful solo geohash. My GPS is currently non-functional, possibly due to airport x-ray scanners, but google satellite imagery was sufficient to get me to the right place.

A more complete report to come, hopefully.

Photos

Still on my camera...

Achievements

Nathan earned the Bicycle geohash achievement

by cycling to the (44, -92) geohash on 2010-05-16.
