Plans

I didn't have a lot of downtime during the day, so all I knew when I set out was that

* the geohash was on a plot of land behind a shopping center, and
* there was a bus line nearby.

If I had given Google Earth more time to load, I probably could have recognized the plot as residential, but this was clearly the easiest geohash in my area this weekend, so once I had free time I downloaded sufficient maps to make it clear what bus lines were appropriate and headed to BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit, a network of electric trains).

I took BART as far as Fremont. (To be continued.)
