About

The hash was located in a neighborhood off of I85, in Lawrenceville. The actual hashpoint was about 50 feet from the road, and by a moderate stroke of luck it fell in a vacant lot amongst all of the houses. Conditions were overcast and cold, about 38º F. This is a red-letter hashpoint for the Atlanta graticule, as it was the site of the first meetup between geohashers in the area. This quite clearly marks the transition into, nay, the dawn of a new era in Atlanta geohashing.

This particular geohash was exciting as it was our first to 1.) occur at 4:00 and 2.) hold the potential of meeting another geohasher. Nick also decided to attempt the circus geohash through his juggling abilities. We left downtown Atlanta by car around 3:15, arriving at the hashpoint around 3:45. We were a bit early, and didn't hesitate to seize the opportunity to earn another geoTrash achievement. (Hey, add that to the list of cover stories. Who's going to tell you to leave if you're cleaning up the hashpoint?) Sure enough, NWoodruff showed up at 4:00. Introductions were made, photos were taken, and amusingly, both Nick and NWoodruff successfully achieved the Circus geohash.
