About

42.1266480113970560, -71.5475331240942810

These coordinates are in Hopedale in the Boston, Massachusetts graticule on 2008-05-24. They are in somebody's house so they will certainly not be reached exactly, but perhaps they can expect some odd passers-by. Nearby points of interest (and fallback locations if a large group shows up) include a baseball field and a cemetery.

The event

This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: huge success. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.


Pictures

If you have pictures, either upload them here or link them on this page. Glench's Photos.

We're looking forward to more weekends in weirder places! Next time, we'll bring more food and more games. Also, if there are open spaces, kites. [Kites!! -j]

The nearest MBTA commuter rail station is Forge Park, 8.2 miles away via Route 140. The Franklin line would accommodate arriving on train 1709 (Departs South Station at 1:20pm, EDT) and leaving on train 1714 (Departs Forge Park at 6:35pm, EDT) or 1716 (Departs Forge Park at 8:35pm, EDT).
