Participants
Expedition
This one looked interesting. It was just off a road that bordered on a sand-and-gravel quarry. The street view clearly showed a sign (not quite legible) that would almost certainly say No Tresspassing, marking the private property of the quarry. We couldn't tell whether we'd be able to get within GPS error of the point without violating the No Tresspassing area. This gave the expedition a sense of adventure :-)
We found it easily. In fact the sign did say No Tresspassing, and the hashpoint was probably on the grassy bank that borders the quarry just beyond the sign. However, we were able to maneuver in the "legal" area to get down to less than 5 m and within the green-numbers zone on Geohash Droid.
