About

In the middle of Georgia Highway 20, next to the Gwinnett Braves baseball stadium.

Expedition

NWoodruff

I arrived a few minutes before 4pm and did a Speed Racer Geohash. I raced through at 3:55 pm. I turned around, drove back, got out and took at picture from the side of the road right at 4pm, the official meetup time.

I waited around til 4:15pm looking for LuxMundi.

I then drove back to Norcross.

Speed Racer Achievement. 0.00 feet to go at 40.2MPH.
Looking West from the Geohash spot.
7.96 feet to go on a busy major street. Close enough for me. I didn't walk in to the street to be at 0.00 feet to go. Also the official meetup time.
Date of the meetup.
11 feet accuracy. I'm still within the required 10 meters.
Across the street from the Brave practice stadium.

LuxMundi

As any geohasher knows, nothing beats hashing with nice clean nails, so we scheduled a visit at our local salon. Unfortunately, it took forever, and by the time we had made it to the Toccoa Grat, we had missed NWoodruff by about 20 minutes.

I was interested in this hash because it is right outside the new Gwinnett Braves stadium, which I have yet to visit. We will be back this spring to retrohash and cheer on the Braves.

After the hash, we visited the Mall of Georgia, with its 166,000 square meters of shopping pleasure. We finalized our trip with a Chinese restaurant on Buford Highway, feasting on a yummy Thai-style hot pot.
