Participants
Expedition
This hashpoint was just off a reasonable alternative of my regular Wednesday commute, and so was a bit of a no-brainer. I parked down the block on the way home from work, and walked around the area for a bit, taking a few pictures.
I am claiming this as a successful expedition under what I consider a common-sense rule: if the hashpoint falls on someone's house or yard in a residential neighborhood, then I am "there" if I can see the hashpoint location from a street, sidewalk, or alley. Posterity and the wiki system may decide otherwise.
As I was heading back to the truck, I encountered every urban geohasher's worst nightmare: an aggressive, charging, off-leash dog. Fortunately, it was only about the size of a large burrito.
