The coordinates in the Providence graticule are in Coventry a few meters into Big River, a fairly popular spot for boating and easy to see from the nearby bridge.
Meeting SUCCESSFUL!!! A good time was had by all! This geohash included, but was not limited to:
-a poor choice of raft inflation software
-tree abuse vis-a-vis raptor defense system
-the use of pseudoscience (a small stick) to retrieve science (a much larger stick)
-the placement of currency at the site (glad you clicked here now, huh?)
-encounter between boat-going types and the Internet ("We're the Internet!" The reply:"???")
-punch and pie (which looked, curiously, like chips, Coke of all sorts, and beef jerky)
-many puns
Two parties, five people, two successful water geohashes (I believe, need to check the rules for that).
