Location

On the access road along the northbound side of College Rd., in Wilmington.

Participants

Plans

We're planning to head home Saturday, and Gwynnath wants to stop at Krispy Kreme along College Road. So I checked for geohashes along the route home (the drive back to New Jersey goes through at least ten graticules) and found one, in Wilmington, four blocks south of the Krispy Kreme we were going to anyway!

Expedition

Success! The geohash was about 5 feet off the side of an access road along College Road, and the locals never knew we were there. A property marker of some kind was found at almost the exact location of the geohash.

Photos

Gwynnath trying to ignore the property marker @34.1886,-77.8899

Achievements

Jevanyn and company earned the Graticule Unlocked Achievement

by being the first to reach any hashpoint in the (34, -77) graticule, here, on 2012-04-07.
