This Boston, Massachusetts 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!

  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.
