Location

1611 - 1693 Milgard Avenue in Saanich (Victoria). Basically just east of Shelbourne, south of Mackenzie.

Participants

Wenslayer and son.

Plans

I saw this Geohash on Friday morning, realized I'd totally have it in the bag, since I have to be a mere 5 minutes away on Sunday morning, so no problemo.

I printed out the Geohashing poster from Active Geohasher site for this expedition.

Expedition

It was such a nice day the day before that I had hoped to reach the coordinates while on a longish bike ride. However, Mother Nature's PSYCH! (rain) left me with little choice but to reach the coordinates while vehicle-enabled. So I dropped my girls off at their art class, and then took my son to the coordinates. We got out amidst the rain, walked half a block to the coordinates, took a few pictures and then off we went. Oh, but I did leave the Geohashing poster in the tree (must remember to bring a tack or pin in the future) for passer-by's and/or the neighbours to see.

Alas, a rather low-key expedition.

Photos

Forthcoming.
