Location

In the parking lot of Cisco, near Milpitas and I-880.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Take the 901 from the convention center to the 880 station on Tasman and Alder, then walk 0.6 mile to the geohash point. Unfortunately I left my sidewalk chalk in Seattle.

Expedition

So the train to the convention was perfectly convenient. I bounced in and out of the website all day, in case I could lure in another geohasher for this super-easy hash.

Heading to hotel; then to the geohash. Time still flexible... -- Thomcat (talk) @37.3305,-121.8889 16:27, 23 April 2013 (PDT)

No takers. Took the train to the station, walked through the parking lot listening to Penn Jillette reading his book "God, No!". Reached the spot in trivial ease.

Arrived on the spot! -- Thomcat (talk) @37.4206,-121.9203 18:59, 23 April 2013 (PDT)

No sidewalk chalk, so I took pictures and headed back to the hotel. What will tomorrow bring?

Photos

Hotel is only 5km away - but I need to use a different exit. @37.3691,-121.9146
