Plans

Go by in the afternoon after forgetting to remind the local mailing list about the not-so-nearby and not-so-accessible hashpoint.

Expedition

I was heading home when I remembered I still had an item on my "to-do" list, which was a nearby hashpoint.

I pulled over and programmed the GPS, thanks to a locally cached copy of the geohashing twitter feed. I remembered that the hashpoint was close to 10th Street, so that helped me find it, as well as getting me to the back route to home.

As I got closer, I saw a fenced off area filled with all sorts of wood, and I suspected I was pretty close. The GPS confirmed it, and told me I got 200 feet before being stopped by a gate that reminded me that if it was closed, they weren't accepting drop-off, so don't throw them over the fence.

There was a huge gap that I could have climbed through to get into the facility to get to the hashpoint, but they clearly didn't want people in there, so I refrained and "honored the gift not yet given."

So, I gazed longingly in the direction of the hashpoint and then headed home, once again passing one of the "Graveyards of Washington County" that I find so often on my Geohashing expeditions.
