Location

Side of a residential street in Mountlake Terrace

Participants

Plans

Meet at the hash at 4 (might be more like 4:10 or 4:20 for some participants...)

Expedition

Delayed; will visit later. Leave me a sign! --Thomcat (talk) 19:21, 29 September 2013 (EDT)

Just arrived! If only I had one ... -- OtherJack (talk) 19:23, 29 September 2013 (EDT)

Thomcat was delayed with a cold wet child after the soccer game. Underway at 4:45, I figured that finding the spot shortly after five would be easy enough.

Arriving at the side street, I saw no sign... until I decided to use my sixth sense. OtherJack left me a clear message (and a fair tip also) using his sixth cents.

How was Cooper's Ale House? Raining harder - on my way home. -- Thomcat (talk) @47.7815,-122.3090 17:09, 29 September 2013 (PDT)

While photographing the sign, the owner of the house came out and told me that I just missed the other fellas, and what the heck was I doing here anyhow? I briefly explained the internet and said they would leave me a sign, showing him the paper. He chuckled and said he thought it might be a dead squirrel out here. We both departed for drier locations. I realize now I forgot to snap a pic of myself.

Fellas? I was the only one there at the time... I wonder if some other folks showed up in between my departure and your arrival. Aero told me he didn't make it (some other stuff came up.) Alas, Cooper's was where I watched my 41,-87 Bears get their butts beat by the rival 42,-83 Lions this morning. Though the Seahawks game was a good consolation of course, and the place did provide me with a key component of my improvised marker as you saw. Anyhow, I'll post more hash photos in a second... -- OtherJack (talk) 23:24, 29 September 2013 (EDT)
