Plans

Pretty tempting, sitting in the middle of a road in Gresham....

Tempting enough, kydlt drove by & stopped in the middle of the street, with Kate, AZ son & AZ grandson. proof to follow.

Expedition

Kydlt, Kate, Erin (AZ son) & J.P. (AZ grandson) were coming home from a long weekend of great out of town fun. So I said, "Oh look, we can have more fun. Geohash fun. I don't think that they were impressed. But no one had to get out of the car. I didn't have my good GPS with me, but on the drive Kate programmed the hash location onto the ipad app 'GPS HD' by Motion X. We stopped in the chicken lane for a few while AZ son took a good photo of the ipad and a bad picture of the street sign. One calculator showed the displayed co-ords as being 3 1/2 off, another as being 27 feet off. Pretty close for not getting out.
