Participants
Plans
The hash coordinates were near a road in Colts Neck, Monmouth County, in the craw between the branches of the Swimming River Reservoir. A nearby large oval racetrack visible on the aerial photos made it clear that horses were likely to be around.
Expedition
Propelled by a strong west wind, I was early for once and killed some time in nearby Thompson Park. The geohash fell in a corral which was empty, although a few horses were grazing in the neighboring corral.
While the geohash was only 25 feet away, I reined in the impulse to climb over the fence, since things could get unstable and it did not mare-it tresspassing...that's enough.
