Location

St. Anne's Cemetery, Cranston, RI

Participants

Vbob (talk) No one else available to come with me, but I expect a LOT of people waiting VERY patiently all around the hash point.

Plans

It's an unseasonably sunny Friday afternoon - I'm going to leave work early and drive the couple miles to an area I've never explored before.

Expedition

Easy to get to - Garmin was balky but finally agreed it could see the sky, and that I was AT the geohash. So was Gloria Nadeau - she's been there since 1988, may she Requiesat In Pacem.

Tracklog

Photos

Hmm - camera's not in the car, not in the basement... It'll turn up.

Acres upon acres of large gravestones
until you get to the back corner
Google thinks I'm in the right place
Garmin says I'm in exactly the right place
Gloria is right here waiting patiently for her husband
Foolish Grin doesn't seem quite right for a cemetery

Achievements

Vbob certifies that Gloria Nadeau earned the Coffin Potato Achievement

by occupying a coffin at the (41, -71) geohash from 1988 to 2015-11-20.
