Location

Today's hash was located on right off the street, in what appears to be either a side or back yard.

Participants

Shishire

Plans

I checked today's coordinates as I was getting ready to leave work for lunch, and discovered, to my surprise that they were located about 3 miles from my work. So I decided to swing by after I ate, take the mandatory photo, and see how it turned out.

Expedition

Today's was fairly easy. It was in the middle of a residential neighborhood, down one of many side streets. I pulled up at the location after a couple minutes, and found that the coordinates placed the point in someone's yard. I stopped my car and got out, but I decided against trespassing. I got 22 feet from the coordinates, and I have a photo with EXIF to prove it. Also, it turns out that the GeoHash Droid application is really useful if you've got an android device.

Photos

Just made it here. Today's coordinates were 3 miles from my work, so I stopped by on lunch. It's snowing, even though you can't see in the picture. @42.5277,-71.1152
