About

This seemed from the map like an easy-to-reach geohash on the front path of somebody's house in a residential neighborhood, but when I got nearby, it turned out to be within a gated community (which are rampant here in south Florida), and I didn't have the gumption to try to con my way past the guard to actually reach the spot.

Expeditions

Dtobias

This is the first geohash I've actually tried to reach in south Florida (I did make it to one in Poughkeepsie, New York a few weeks ago during a visit there). After turning around at the gate (which I unfortunately didn't get a picture of), I found a park nearby and took a few pictures there, including of the residential neighborhood on the other side of a canal, which is where the actual geohash spot is located.
