About

On the median of Commercial Blvd, on the east side of the intersection with Andrews Ave. There is a walk-in clinic at the southeast corner and a Subway on the southwest corner.

Expedition

Million zillion

I arrived at about 4:40pm, local time, and parked at the walk-in clinic (possibly closed) at the corner, right in front of the geohash spot. I crossed to the median for an AGPS fix and some pictures, then left. Missing Dtobias was my fault - late as usual :). Maybe next week.

This intersection looks very typical of the slightly older residential parts of Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach.

I didn't get a picture of my GPS because GPS == camera == cell phone. This was my first successful geohash.

  • View from the southeast corner, towards geohash site at median

  • View from the median, roughly towards the geohash site

  • The clinic where I parked my Citation, from the median

  • View of the intersection, from the SE corner again

Dtobias

I was there at 4:11 PM, but didn't see anybody else who looked like a geohasher. So far none of these meetups have actually resulted in me meeting anybody... looks like I just missed Million zillion, who arrived a few minutes after me. According to the position shown on my iPhone's map, the hash spot is actually just off the median, in the leftmost eastbound lane of traffic.

  • View from the north side of the street

  • A closer view (spot is just on the other side of the median strip here)

  • View from the south side (spot is just this side of the median here... the spot itself, being in the middle of a busy traffic lane, is not a good place to stand and take pictures, though I did pass through it while crossing the street)
