Participants

Plans

I intend to paint maple leaves on my face, go to the geohash around noonish, and decamp to a picnic area. Does anyone know of a nearby park with somewhat weather-resistant picnic facilities? None of Malkin, Memorial and Balaclava appears to have picnic tables, but Malkin looks the most picnic-friendly. I have tarps. -Robyn 16:19, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

[comments redacted --- I have been informed that 40 blocks (up and over a rather tall hill) does not meet any reasonable definition "near". And, oddly enough, we are going against Geohashing tradition by using a reasonable definitions of "near".] --Wade 17:06, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm thinking of biking it. I have lots of transit-bike hashes, but the only one I biked to 100% was a no trespassing hash. It takes me 30 minutes to get downtown, and about 1:15 to get to UBC, so it should only be an hour's ride or so. I doubt more than an hour and a half. -- Rhonda 16:35, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm biking it too. It's right on the bike route by our house. Also, it's Canada Day. Any bookable picnic will be booked. -Robyn 16:57, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

It's a Canada miracle! See you all at Collingwood and 37.5st at noon! -- [[user:thepiguy]] 16:58, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

-:There are picnic tables (which, in theory, should be reserved) at Jericho beach.  Not really close, but not extremely far either. --[[User:Wade|Wade]]

-:It costs $85 to book the entire picnic area between 9:am and 4:pm, but I'm sure that the person who would take the booking is on vacation today, so there is zero chance of arranging that.  We could show up and see if it is available. --[[User:Wade|Wade]] 16:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
