Location

An office complex just off I-95 in Bucks County, PA.

Participants

Jevanyn and Gwynnath

Plans

Gwynnath's cousin made plans for a New Year's Day wedding many months ago, on the naval air base in Willow Grove, a northern suburb of Philadelphia. Among several routes there was I-95, and the geohash was located in an office complex near an exit along the way. The geohash was on the far side of the complex, so not within 100m of the roadway; otherwise we could have qualified for the bizarre combination of the Formal Attire Geohash and a Speed Racer Geohash on the same trip.

Expedition

Fortuitously, we left home with plenty of time to make what seemed like a 20-minute stop at most, which it was. The office complex was occupied, but closed on a Saturday, so there was no traffic, or even any other cars at the site. The hashpoint appeared to be inside one building, but "margin of error" is margin of error, so we were able make contact and get pictures.

Attempts to log the expedition with Geohash Droid failed. I suspect the last update crippled the app.

Photos

Gwynnath @40.2317,-74.8853

Achievements

Jevanyn and Gwynnath earned the Formal attire achievement

by looking good at the (40, -74) geohash on 2011-01-01.
