Planning
Getting there by bus:
- nearest bus stop: the 351 stops on King George and 32 Ave
- the stop is about 3.4 km away from the hashpoint; quick bike ride, or longish walk
- 351 route map and time table
For those taking the bus, you can join us at these meetpoints:
- 8:50 at Burrard Station
- 9:00 at Broadway and Granville
Bicyclists: caution, there are only 2 bike rack spots on each 351 bus, and the buses are half an hour apart on sunday.
Elbie
Elbie wants to be back in Vancouver to see at least part of the Car Free Vancouver Day festival at Commercial (noon - 18:00).
- 8:30 - leave UBC by bike, go to Broadway & Granville
- 9:09 - take the 351 to King George & 32 (next bus is at 9:37) - bringing my bike with me on the bus if possible
- 10:00 - walk over to the farm
- 10:30 - arrive, conduct Ambassador hash
- after - bike back to Vancouver

- 10:xx arrive at farm, waiting on the road for others to arrive
- 10:30 present Diplomatic Passport

Comments from from local geohashers who aren't very local at the moment
It makes me sad I'm not in Vancouver. You guys are having so much fun! And there are so many new people! ... Then I remember I'm going biking with Reinhard and Manu tomorrow, and I'm a little less sad. But I still miss Vancouver. Thepiguy 19:09, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- I miss my home graticule too. I'm soothed by the hope of scoring some exotic northern graticules for my Graticule Hopper quest, but there are thunderstorms today, so no flying. Having all kinds of new people geohashing Vancouver without us is infinitely better than having good geohashes go to waste because Pi and I are out of town. So you go, guys! Maybe put an extra pinecone on your location marker for us. -Robyn 18:07, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
What is this? It's already the next morning (it is here at least) and there's no report yet? What am I supposed to do at work all day? Thepiguy 06:48, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Bah, it's midnight and I'm drunk and tired. :P To summarize, success, with some cycling and ambassador. Picnic was also had. Yangman 06:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- All of us had plans for the afternoon. Half the group went to the car-free vancouver events, and the other half went to play tag. -- Rhonda 14:00, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
