Location

E. 3rd St., Plainfield, NJ

Participants

Jevanyn, Gwynnath and Evan

Plans

A friend of ours hosted a Chinese New Years party in Garwood that night, putting the geohash between our home and theirs. The plan was to take NJ 28 part or all the way there (with a chance at a Juggernaut achievement).

Expedition

We took US-22 east to Norwood Ave., with the intention of turning left into E. 3rd. Unfortunately, I never saw a street sign for E 3rd, so I doubled back after passing under the tracks, made a right onto North Ave., and circled around the block from the east.

We did got to the location. The larger building that looks like it could be a church was actually a large house divided into apartments, with a handicap-access elevator in the front. I got a picture of the front of the building, and proceeded east toward Garwood.

Achievements

Did I qualify for the Juggernaut? Yes, but I didn't record a tracklog, and the doubling-back may have taken us out of line to the geohash.
