The hash coordinates were near a road in Colts Neck, Monmouth County, in the craw between the branches of the Swimming River Reservoir. A nearby large oval racetrack visible on the aerial photos made it clear that horses were likely to be around.
[edit] Expedition
Propelled by a strong west wind, I was early for once and killed some time in nearby Thompson Park. The geohash fell in a corral which was empty, although a few horses were grazing in the neighboring corral.
While the geohash was only 25 feet away, I reined in the impulse to climb over the fence, since things could get unstable and it did not mare-it tresspassing...that's enough.

Close to the coordinates
The horses behind me don't seem to realize how close they are to getting a Stable Potato Geohash Achievement or something
Poor guy just missed reaching the geohash
