Location

A field near BELL LABS

Participants

Plans

Friday morning at work. The point looked too far away to attempt, deep in the wilds of New Jersey, but I zoomed in on the satellite picture out of curiosity. Wait, what's that perfect double-ellipse of roads and ponds a couple fields north of the hash, that looks like it landed from outer space? I zoomed in further and... "Bell Laboratories Rd"! Whoa! This is where modern electronics all got started with the transistor in the late 1940s, among other really important discoveries. A day later I realized I had to go there.

Consulting train schedules and bike maps, I decided it was feasible and legal to take my bike on NJ Transit to Hazlet or Middletown stations, and bike a few miles to the hash-farm... followed (hopefully) by a trip around the corner to Bell Labs. Currently planning ETA 3:50 or so at the point, but flexible.
