Expedition
I noted these favorable coordinates in Seattle, and rued that they occurred before I flew to Finland last weekend. While (always) open for decent coordinates, if things worked out, I planned to make a retro expedition to this geohashpoint.
Things worked out.
My AirBNB for the week is 1.6 miles (or 2.5 kilometers) from the office if I walk, and it was only lightly misting today. The only concern was reaching the office before 9 in a place where sunrise is around 8:50 am. Nautical twilight is the relevant term on this misty day - and there was enough light to see by.
It was a bit warmer than usual (if there is such a thing) and the ground has far more sand than snow. I walked to the proper road and then uphill to the parking lot containing the hashpoint. I found the right spot and snapped a selfie (with appropriate retro-grin), then another for the area. A short walk continued to the office, though 526 meters away is a bit too far for a retro-cubicle geohash.
Perhaps this retro hash will help summon an achievable local hash in the next few days - I fly to Seattle on Saturday.
