Google Maps was a little off as far as what a drive-able road was, so we stopped in the point on the road (keep in mind this is inside a cemetery so these are little one lane roads) and ventured into the mud. Yes, mud. It was muddy going and at one point I thought we would have to clamber over a hedge full of bushes, in which case I was ready to abandon. However, Anonymous Female found a path around the side and the spot itself was in a relatively grassy area. She correctly pointed out that we could have avoided the mud completely by taking a different route. Just near the hash point was a deer shaped archery target as well as a bag hanging from a frame for archery practice. We went back to the car and high tailed it out of there! | Google Maps was a little off as far as what a drive-able road was, so we stopped in the point on the road (keep in mind this is inside a cemetery so these are little one lane roads) and ventured into the mud.

Plans
- This is six minutes by car from the house of a woman I am just starting to date. Dare I suggest this as an activity? Yes! -- OfficeLinebacker (talk) 07:59, 29 November 2014 (EST)
I broached the topic over sushi. Her eyes glazed over when I started to explain what an md5 hash is, but she agreed to do it.

Expedition
We left the sushi joint and use Google Nav to get us to within about 180 feet.
Google Maps was a little off as far as what a drive-able road was, so we stopped in the point on the road (keep in mind this is inside a cemetery so these are little one lane roads) and ventured into the mud. Yes, mud. It was muddy going and at one point I thought we would have to clamber over a hedge full of bushes, in which case I was ready to abandon. However, Anonymous Female found a path around the side and the spot itself was in a relatively grassy area. She correctly pointed out that we could have avoided the mud completely by taking a different route. Just near the hash point was a deer shaped archery target as well as a bag hanging from a frame for archery practice. We went back to the car and high tailed it out of there!
I found it interesting to note that there is a [Coffin Potato Achievement http://wiki.xkcd.com/geohashing/Coffin_Potato_Achievement] which could have come into play, if this area had been used for graves.
