The geohash was in the middle of 16th Avenue, just west of Heather Street, in the city of Vancouver.

Participants

  • Robyn and her T-Rex mascot went by bus.
  • HollyB met Robyn around 6 p.m., and dragging a friend
  • Jaem is one of the friends HollyB dragged along (willingly)
  • DaleF came with HollyB and Jaem.

Expeditions

Robyn

Robyn noted that the geohash was not only exactly on a bus route, but was on the same recently established bus route that runs right by her house, so decided this was the perfect day to take the public transit geohash. It worked out splendidly. This sport is awesome!

Here's the story in pictures ...

I was truly delighted to meet these three. It was the most like geohashing is supposed to be. I've become so wrapped up in finding and getting to crazy coordinates that I didn't realize how much fun there is to be had in just meeting people on a very simple expedition. We should have stayed longer, but it was raining and dinnertime. We all rode back on the same bus, a very short ride for me. Doh! I should have invited them to get off at my stop and come for dinner. Next time!
