Location

In front of a small business on Hamburg Turnpike, in Wayne or Pequannock

Participants

Jevanyn (talk), party of four

Plans

Visiting family in Fair Lawn, taking the long way home toward the geohash, playing some Ingress along the way.

Expedition

It is a modern phenomenon, to trust your life and wellbeing to the availability and accuracy of a GPS and turn-by-turn directions. All the more so when you intend to deviate from those directions constantly, as when travelling several blocks from the original route to reach Ingress portals along side streets or main roads as you cross them.

The "small business" near the geohash turned out to be the Wayne Hills Diner. We arrived at 11PM-ish, with both kids asleep in the car, so we didn't sample the local fare.

Also, Wayne is in Passaic County, which is the only northern county I hadn't hashed in yet. Woot! -- Jevanyn (talk) @40.9638,-74.2541 22:07, 26 December 2014 (EST)
