About
On Holcomb Bridge Road in the east bound lane, east of Roswell, Georgia.

I usually take this route when there has been a bad accident on the interstates and traffic going east is backed up. I have passed over this spot hundreds of times in the past but never would have guessed that it would eventually become a Geohash spot.
I did drive home from work taking my usual back roads. I came upon the geohash and tried for another Speed Racer but as I was approaching the street light had changed to red. I did manage to get a picture but not at 0.00 feet to go. But, I was within the 10 meters when I snapped the picture. I was looking at the cars in front of me so I wouldn't run in to them, instead of looking at the eTrex.
I turned the corner and parked and walked back to the hash spot. I waited till the light turned red again and then walked out into the traffic to get an exact picture of the spot. Success! The internet Jay Walks again!!
I take a few pictures then get back in my truck and continue on my way home.
