Plans
azsr: I'm planning to leave from Ruggles at about 2:30 pm, taking the Orange Line to Forest Hills, then transferring onto the 34E bus. ETA is about 4:00 pm.
Expedition
azsr: I started from the Orange Line Mass Ave station at about 3:20, taking a southbound train to Forest Hills. From there, I transferred directly onto a 34E bus. I got off the bus one stop too early (trigger finger on the "request stop" button!) and so had to walk about 5 minutes more than I needed to.
I got to the geohash right around 4 pm and stapled my poster to a tree on Old Post Rd. Then, I got as close as I could to the geohash itself (which was in the yard of four houses). My GPS signal was pretty jittery, so I'm not sure I actually was on the geohash at any point, but I was definitely within 5-10 m of it.
The ride back home was essentially the same in reverse, but I had timed the return trip poorly, so I had to wait almost 25 min for the bus (it operates at 30 min intervals). However, this gave me the great opportunity to walk through the nearby Bird Park, which, as I found out, is not a park specifically for birds, but is named after a certain Mr. Bird.
