Location

A wooded lot in South Bound Brook

Participants

Plans

Bound Brook is on my way home, so I suggested making a side trip down the road.

Expedition

Success! The lot, which looks wooded from the satellite photos, was mostly clear and not fenced in. I was able to approach the hashpoint easily, though without a reliable GPS I can only eye-ball that I got within a couple of meters. Still, it's better than a drive-by.

Texts from the geohash

Hopped off my NJT train a couple of stops early, waiting for Gwynnath to pick me up and finish the expedition. -- Jevanyn 18:12, 29 January 2013 (EST)

Success! The field seems to have been cleared of trees -- Jevanyn @40.5375,-74.5385 18:32, 29 January 2013 (EST)

Photos

More of an Inscrutible Glare than a Silly Grin
