Location

On the shore of Wollochet bay near Gig Harbor.

Participants

OtherJack

Plans

There were plans, but some events delayed arrival at the hashpoint

Expedition

OtherJack

Due to a sequence of bizarre and unanticipated events, I did not make it to the hashpoint (47 deg 17.630' N, 122 deg 36.733' W) until well past 4:30pm... hope I didn't miss anyone who came on time! It was worth the drive though... on a conveniently vacant lot, right at the shore of Wollochet Bay near Gig Harbor. Big trees, new housing development on the other side of the bay, tide flats, etc. Plus, this led me to make my first ever crossings of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, site of every physics teacher's favorite man-made disaster! (Galloping Gertie)

Photos

Photo(s) will be posted soon.
