Planning

• Jevanyn: Coming back from Cape May via the Parkway, we're making a side trip to Earle to find the geohash. It's just off Route 33 to the south, near the Naval Weapons test grounds. I've posted to Facebook to see if any other Newark geohashers can make it.

Execution

Stopped in Earle on the way home from visiting Cape May. Side of Route 33 featured No Tresspassing signs and poison ivy. Took pictures and picked up trash. Uncovered dinosaur abuse; called ASPCA.

Proof

• 

  A mailbox on the site.

• 

  The neighboring lot is owned by Eagle Oaks Golf Course, just to the south.

• 

  Clearly, the folks at the golf course are too busy to clean up their property....

• 

  This is what poison ivy looks like up close

• 

  This is what a velociraptor attack looks like!

• 

  It bit my wife, too.

• 

  We later discovered this dinosaur chained up outside a diner.
