I guess this is the first real "driveby" in this category. It is a really busy higway and this bell can only be done from your car.
Do not try this when you are alone in your car; do not stop or even slow down at this part of the freeway!
We tried to be really organized and took the locations of three bells in a driveby two weeks earlyer. Now, we had the locations and the GPS and the camera were ready - and everything went wrong.
The bell just zooomed by while I tried to take a picture at 65 mph and the raindrops on the windshield confused the camera sensor. As a result, we have a clear picture of the GPS and of Bernd_das_Brot but only a blurry something somewhere in the back. We hope it is good enough.
So, all we can say is, that there is a Bell on the right side of the road, sorry.
About the Difficulties of "Drivebys"
There are four bells on the westbound part of hwy 156 for as long as it is merged with hwy 101. This is the first one. The second one, on
Dunbarton Road was a little bit easier to get. But number three and four were a real challenge and the result was so bad that we decided not to log them but to reveal their positions here, hoping that somebody else may have better luck.
