About

The only way to reach this Geohash point is by driving. Interstate Highway law requires 100 feet controlled access on either side of the interstate [2]. I was hoping when I was driving to this hash point that, the hash point was inside this fence. I was in luck.

Expedition

NWoodruff

I had e-mailed with Woodveil earlier in the day and informed them that I was making it to the hash point. I showed up at the hash point half expecting them to be there because I was about 5 minutes late from when I told them that I would be there. Okay, slight miss calculation. From the Google maps, I knew that it was going to be a climb up to reach the hash point. [3]

I knew that if you could see the hash point from Google maps that I should be able to get to it. I made the climb up the hill. I was looking for the barrier fence that is on the side of all interstate roads. I was in luck as in the fence was another 20 feet away from where the hash point was.

But, this meant that the only way to reach this actual hash point is by an engine-driven vehicle.

I took a few pictures at the hash point then climbed down the hill. I waited around for about 15 minutes for the Woodveil guys since I had told them the specific time that I was to be there. I never saw them. I then decided to drive home and got stuck in the traffic for the Atlanta Braves game at Ted Turner Stadium.
