This Boston geohash is located about 30 meters offshore of a park, in Wassachuset Reservoir.
People
Randall, davean, and Tesia got within about 35 meters of this hash around 5:15 PM. We couldn't find any signs of boats anywhere near the dike (it's a reservoir, so perhaps they're touchier about who does what in it). It was much too deep to wade, and we weren't hardcore enough to jump in. Next time!
- Pictures
Did you know there's a Wikipedia article on that default XP background photo?
The entrance to the park/dike.
Proof of location, if you accept my shell script.
Proof that I couldn't QUITE get there without getting wet.
But it's as close as possible!
And look what license plate we spotted on the way.
