Location

Parking lot behind a commercial building at the end of a dead end street, about 3 blocks from where I live.

Participants

Vbob

Plans

Go there.

Expedition

Went there. Walked out the basement door and downhill; stopped for coffee, headed for hash, stopped to chat up policeman enjoying his coffee & donut parked near where I was headed. He'd been geocaching with his kids, and decided I wasn't suspicious.

Found the gate to the parking lot open, wandered in, found the hash, had a pie, took photos, and carefully wandered out along the other side of the lot, up the other side of the street, up another street and around the block, returning home from the other direction, and entered my home through the uphill door.

Tracklog

Tried keeping a tracklog on my trusty old Garmin eTrex Vista - now all I have to do is find the serial cable it came with, and then find a computer with a serial port...

Photos

Achievements

vbob earned the Walk geohash Achievement

by reaching the (41, -71) geohash on 2014-03-02 on foot.

Vbob earned the Tron achievement

by reaching and returning from the (41, -71) geohash without crossing his [proof pending search for GPS serial cable own tracks] on 2014-03-02.

Police Geohash??
