Location

Driveway for Chestnut Montessori School in Bellevue, close to 520 and Burgermaster.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Will either visit at lunchtime or sometime after 9pm.

Expedition

Baseball game started at 7:30pm, finished shortly after 9:00. After a few short errands, the next stop ($1.70 toll from now) would be the geohash.

A lot of the 520 bridge is under construction, but the relatively steep toll scares plenty away. The crossing was quick, with very choppy water just visible beyond the barrier. On truly windy days, they close the bridge - but this was not one of those.

I found the school easily; a high fence and a one-car driveway led to a place where I could turn around and exit again. I took various photos and uploaded messages such as

On the spot! -- Thomcat (talk) @47.6423,-122.1965 22:07, 28 May 2014 (PDT)

Pulling out of the driveway, I coasted around the corner to a sweet local drive-in which is open until midnight. Burgermaster is a local hot-spot, and a place I would gladly stop to let traffic die down a bit. Little traffic tonight, but the shake was just as good.
