Location

St. Anne's Cemetery, Cranston, RI

Participants

Vbob (talk) No one else available to come with me, but I expect a LOT of people waiting VERY patiently all around the hash point.

Plans

It's an unseasonably sunny Friday afternoon - I'm going to leave work early and drive the couple miles to an area I've never explored before.

Expedition

Easy to get to - Garmin was balky but finally agreed it could see the sky, and that I was AT the geohash. So was Gloria Nadeau - she's been there since 1988, may she Requiesat In Pacem.

Tracklog

Photos

Hmm - camera's not in the car, not in the basement... It'll turn up.

Achievements

CoffinPotato.PNG
Vbob certifies that Gloria Nadeau earned the Coffin Potato Achievement
by occupying a coffin at the (41, -71) geohash from 1988 to 2015-11-20.
