For some reason there is a discrepancy between the google maps and the peeron version, with the peeron showing the smaller ponds in the area.

Location

Inside the Cape Cod National Seashore, 1/4 mile north of Provincetown MA, 200 ft south of Grassy Pond, and on the southern shore of a small unnamed pond.

Coordinates: 42.066439°, -70.18439°

Google maps location
xkcd map location

This hash was reached, but on the incorrect day (Saturday instead of Thursday). The location was on top of a small ridge, a bit off of a small sandy trail that cut through the Cape Cod National Seashore just north of Provincetown. We rode our bikes out to the trailhead, and hiked in from there. Unfortunately, we had no way of confirming the location other than google earth on a laptop.

We arrived at the location with the intent to have some lobster at the location, but there were just too many mosquitoes. We took pics and bailed.

We're sad that we weren't able to make it on the correct day, but seeing that the following two days were well out of the way, this isn't either of our home graticules, and the odds of the hash landing where it did are near phenomenal, we decided it was well worth the effort to go out.

Plans

cogit0 and civet are planning on camping there this weekend, so will stop by and make a visit to the very rare land-hash in this graticule.
