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 (photos below). 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
Nice view of the bay from the hashpoint, with new-looking houses...
... just like the one that will probably be built on this spot soon enough.
Trees lookin' good.
