Plans

Leave home and see the world! Well, okay, just this hashpoint.

Expedition

This is the second reachable hashpoint I've seen in the Seattle graticule in months.

Relatively new phone - have I used it for geohashing?

Updated app - if I have used it, I needed to log in again.

It was good to get out of the home office on a long lunch break. Yes, while some are bored and some are homeschooling, I am still working 40+ hours per week. One of the things I have done the last week or so is visit (empty) baseball fields, lamenting the temporary loss of my second job.

On the way was Inglemoor High School, where I worked 6-7 games last year. The parking lot (and presumably school) were locked up, and the field itself was locked up, but I could lean outside the fence (near the pressbox) and snap a photo of home plate.

That done, I drove the short distance to our geohashpoint. The neighborhood is known as Stonehedge Village (strange name), and this apartment complex is just off the west side. I didn't dig into the minutiae of whether it was part of the "village" or not.

I parked next to the closed playground (hard to guarantee safety from a virus - though the sunshine should help) and walked the short distance to the spot, right in front of a car port. After snapping and uploading, I headed out - geohash complete.
