  • Thomcat plans to start his westward trip here.

Expedition

Early morning, time for a geohash! I drove out from the place I was staying to Mica, just south of the Spokane Valley where I grew up. The house in question was fairly easy to find, it was unknown just how far the geohash was away from that point though.

This house has been under construction for a while, apparently, so I hopped up and hiked through the meadows.

Quite a pretty view from the hash point itself. Me, I would build a house right up here, not down there. Build a garage down by the road, sure, but save the living room view for beauty!

Hash successful, I started my journey back to Seattle, where I would attempt another geohash.

(Editor's note - according to Zillow, this property sold about four months later for $175,000)
