Location

Just a few feet north of Natural History Avenue, the loop drive through Roger Williams Park, Providence, RI - should be very easy to get to.

Participants

Vbob (talk)

Plans

Should be a fine day, and a Good Friday holiday, so the chance to get out and remember how to hash-dance seems ideal! Probably going to try to visit early afternoon, if there are any other Silly Grinners in these parts.

Expedition

"The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed" - whoops, wrong adventure. It WAS getting nasty out though, so went BEFORE lunch, and didn't manage to do the hash dance very well - could have walked across it with ease but couldn't see the readout on my phone well enough to realize I hadn't gotten all that close.

We - well, I anyway - really wish we had a good iPhone Geohashing app!

Photos

My mistress and I parked near the hashpoint near Roger Williams Park Natural History Museum
screenshot of the closest? approach - about 115' too far north, and 36' too far east - I blame my driving glasses vs. reading glasses for not doing better. That, and almost being late for hot lunch date....
Silly Grin™
decided NOT to leave the poster, as the grounds were immaculate!
