Original discussion
I have baseball games at 11:30 and 2, so making the traditional meetup time is unlikely. Currently researching ferry schedules to figure out if before or after makes more sense. --Thomcat (talk) 10:44, 24 May 2013 (EDT)
- If it ends up being early evening I may try to meet you... this would make an interesting bike hash... -- OtherJack (talk) 13:26, 24 May 2013 (EDT)

Expense
The charge for both ferries is the same.
- $ 8.70 for bicycle and rider outbound, no charge inbound
- $13.25 for car and driver, charged each way
Bike geohash
I concur it would be a good bike hash, but as I have to work, impossible for me. If things went *very* quickly at baseball (roughly 5-10% of these tournament games) I could be on the 3:45 boat and arrive at 4:35 -- but arriving at 5:25 is really much more likely. --Thomcat (talk) 14:31, 24 May 2013 (EDT)
- 5:25 is fine, or even 6:20 or whenever it was. But later wouldn't be so good... should we say 5:25?
Geocache collision?
Worth scouting - [1]
Sidetrip Plans
Visit two Chief Sealth statues in Seattle, then the grave at 47.73053271, -122.55522072.
Potential Achievements
- Saturday meetup
- Geohashing (Mouseover) Day
- Towel Day (proposed)
- Bicycle
- Geocache Collision
- Pub (Bella Luna has pizza and a pint and is in sight of the hash point)
- Tron (a big circle route)
- Holy Ground?
County Lines
Thomcat now has 6 of 8 counties required for a reverse regional geohash here in 47,-122.
Incidentally, OtherJack was right about the county being available in Bing maps - right next to the details about the geographic point. The lines are there also, but the individual counties (or states) are not named by the lines themselves. Now I have enough information - for instance, Sunday's geohash is in Thurston county, albeit in the water. --Thomcat (talk) 23:14, 26 May 2013 (EDT)
