MrDrake and DancingMan arrived a few minutes early. DancingMan chalked up "xkcd" on the road, and then disappeared for a walk around the block, which briefly caused MrDrake to think that someone else had been and gone. 2e96b290f6c5ccd2bc6830557c0aba6e (henceforth referred to as r2d2, because I don't want to type his full username every time) turned up shortly after. We found that the co-ordinates were pretty close to a tree on the edge of the scrub, so we chalked up the tree, and juggled, qualifying us all for a Circus Geohash achievment.
