At the time, I was living on Capitol Hill, so when I realized how close the point was to my home address, I knew I couldn't go without trying to get it. After work that day, I took the Metro to the nearby Smithsonian station and took a short walk to the hashpoint. At the time, I had assumed the only way I would be able to reach the point was to enter the buildings and try to make it into the courtyard inside.

Nevertheless, I walked all over the possible places it could have been, so I'm sure at some point I walked over the exact place. I was able to get a screenshot as well, which is below.

From there, I left and went off to meet my friends at a bar and had a great Friday night in DC!
