[edit] Plans
The geohash was so gloriously simple, in a real public park on a sunny day that the only plan posted was ...
Go there.
[edit] Expedition
[edit] Wade & Dagny
Wade programmed the coordinates into GPS, put himself and the GPS in the car. Dagney put herself and T-Rex in the car. We drove for about 15 minutes, following simple major streets for most of the way, and a few small streets for the final few hundred meters.
At the hashpoint, there was an unexpected difficulty. A car seemed to be parked exactly where we wanted to be. Wade parallel parked in front of the offending car, and was pleased to see the GPS read "0 m to destination".
After a couple of photos, we started the car back up and drove home.
[edit] Difficulty
The geohash did not require complex navigation or even getting out of the car, but it did require parallel parking. I give it a 2.5 out of 10 on the difficulty scale.
