Plans

An achievable geohash, if the day isn't too busy.

Expedition

Today was a very busy one, but this was the first geohash in a while that wasn't far out on the peninsula or in the water. When my plans opened up unexpectedly in the evening, I paid the $2.70 toll for the floating bridge and headed to Bellevue.

What Google says is a road is really more of a driveway to a business or three - it did have a road sign marked "private". But, being a publicly accessible business, the road/drive was very much open for my geohash attempt!

As the photos indicate, there was some sort of construction going on all around. GPS drift seemed especially bad, and I danced around a lot to get the point under 2 meters. The error circle was more than 10 meters today, even though there were no power lines or big trees. Fortunately, the locus of my dancing was also roughly where the aerial photo indicated. I used my sidewalk chalk to mark for any later hashers than me, though it looks like I might have been the only one today.
