Location

A relatively new neighborhood near Auburn.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Fly home from San Jose and stop under the gibbous moon on my way home from the airport.

Expedition

Went exactly according to plan.

The development doesn't look much more complete than in the latest satellite shots (Google or Bing - I can't recall which). The neighborhood where the hash point is, down a slope apparent in the aforementioned aerial shots, is called Oakpointe. Well worth stopping for a geohashe.

The weeds were easy to tromp through in the moonlight, the glow of the nearby streetlamp helping somewhat. A low fog was on the moors, but no baying of a hound was heard. I reached the exact spot, uploaded a photo, and headed for home - after stopping to snap the neighborhood sign and one more "development plan". I will link to that with my next edit.

Finally pulled into my driveway just a few minutes past midnight.
