The Location
Curtmack doesn't have a GPS unit, but he theorizes that it's very near the Wal*Mart Supercenter south of Seward, shown below.
The Geohash
Lacking a GPS unit, I (Curtmack) had to use landmarks to find out roughly where the geohash was (and as such couldn't get to its exact location).
More interesting, perhaps, than the geohash itself was one of the landmarks I used: an eerily Pentagon-shaped building, which turned out to be part of a seminary. I took some pictures, which can be found below.
Pictures
The seminary itself.
I was there around noon, so these bells actually started ringing while I was there... it was pretty annoying.
The sign to St. Gregory the Great Seminary.
The actual geohash (or close to it anyway).
