About

This turned out to be a much longer Geohash than anticipated. In the morning I park my truck at a shopping mall and ride the last 6 miles to work. This morning on my route to work. There was a construction team repairing a section of the sidewalk. I jumped the curb on my bicycle and heard something pop from under the rear tire.

I got to work and everything was fine.

This evening, I make it out to my bicycle from work and the tire is flat. I push my bicycle back to my truck and I take the short route of 4 miles. It takes me over an hour. Traffic is some what lighter at 6pm than it is at 5pm. I make my way into the center of Atlanta about 6:30pm. Just as I am driving through, police cars set up a road block and block all 6 lanes of the interstate to clean up a 2 car wreck going south bound. I sit in traffic with about 10,000 of my friends for about 10 minutes going nowhere.

The wreck is finally cleared and I am on my way. On the return trip back to my house, there is another car wreck that closes 3 of the 4 lanes on I-675 and I sit for another 30 minutes waiting to get around that mess.

I'm glad that I made the Geohash point though.

The Geohash point is about 1/2 mile in that direction. If you zoom in to 100% of the picture you can see about 15 deer.
I looked for "No Trasspassing" signs. I didn't see any. I did find an OPEN gate though.
I found the hash point with 0 feet to go.

My truck is 1/2 mile in that direction.
