Location

Somebody's driveway near Piggoreet.

Participants

Snaplatitude
a lady friend
a disgruntled McDonalds worker

Plans

Planned to continue our winning streak after finding another accessible geohash, two in a row would have won us a nice achievement.

Expedition

Apparently it was not to be, what seemed to be a road near piggoreet turned out in reality to be a private driveway. At first we didn't realise until we found a house at the end of the road and decided to turn back. Before we turned back we grabbed a photo of an abandoned house which looked notorious and had a freaky little chair out the front. On the way home we passed the lady's pre-school so grabbed some snaps of that for nostalgia's sake.

Photos

Private Property
Notorious abandoned house complete with weirdo chair

Achievements

We qualify for yet another no trespassing achievement and so it's another step towards my posted achievement.

Snaplatitude earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost reaching the (-37, 143) geohash on 2012-08-03.
