Nathan, Software developer since 1983
I live in Norcross, Georgia , at I-85 and GA-378 on the north east side of Atlanta.
Geohashes I've scouted
On 2008-06-22. Got with in 10 feet of actual spot at 16:00 local time. Fear of snakes and poison Ivy prevented me from touching the actual location. Met a hot looking woman living in the complex though.
On 2008-08-01. Made it to the exact spot at 12:15pm local time. I dragged a friend from the office along with me.
On 2008-08-02. I took a motorcycle ride north east to an old stomping ground of mine. I went to Lanier Tech/Gainesville Junior College in 1983-1984 which was just across the street from Georgia Hwy 53. The place has changed drastically in more than 20 years. It was nice to know that the Pizza hut is still there across the street. That is where I bought my first beer. It was incredibly HOT waiting for people to show up. I got there around 4pm local time. I waited through a rain shower and left about 5pm. Nobody showed up except me. I looked for the Master Trespasser award which I would qualify for. There is none :(.
On 2008-08-09. Made it to the dirt road entrance at 4:10pm local time. I looked to me as a private driveway so I didn't drive up it. I did park on the side of the road and walked up it about 30 feet. I could see other houses with people outside so I didn't go any further. I waited till about 4:30pm local time to see if any one else would show up. I left with out taking pictures.
On 2008-08-10 I made it out to Douglasville. I was there a few minutes after 4pm local time. I was the only one there at the hash in the 4pm hour. I had given advanced notice since Friday that I would be out at this hash and was hoping that other Atlanta Geohashers would be there. I assumed that I was the only one. I did pick up another achievement award, the Speed Racer Award.
On 2008-08-11 I made it out to Larenceville to do the speed racer achievement again. It took me a few attempts to get a picture of the exact spot to qualify for the speed racer. I waited around on the side of the road for 30 minutes for other speed racers. None showed so I left for Norcross.
