Plans

Stop and chalk on the way to work, perhaps revisit on the way home at 5.

I could make a 5pm meetup... -- OtherJack (talk) 11:45, 12 June 2014 (EDT)

OK, Thom and I are meeting there at 5:20 or a bit earlier! Did you make it at lunch Stan? -- OtherJack (talk) 18:41, 12 June 2014 (EDT)

I did. Tron achievement was achieved! I'm writing it up now. --Stand (talk) 21:39, 12 June 2014 (EDT)

Sweet, we also made it at 5:20. I'll write up later when I have time... -- OtherJack (talk) 21:41, 12 June 2014 (EDT)

I'm going to use my bike and attempt the Tron achievement, probably around lunchtime --Stand (talk) 12:53, 12 June 2014 (EDT)

Expedition

Thomcat

First expedition of the day. This was close enough to home that I could have walked, but I needed to get to Bothell. The hashpoint was not far from our Pinehurst School hash back in January.

Drove to the spot, parking on the hashpoint. I chalked the road outside the door, as that would be more easily visible than the shrub that contained the zero point. What is 7/10 of a meter between friends?

The house across the street is for sale (pictured below). Returning to the hashpoint at 5:20 pm, I discussed the possibility of a purchase and couch potato with OtherJack. Turns out I was right about day-of-hash purchase, but incorrect about the definition - the geohash point must be inside the domicile. A correction on the discussion page puts it on the property, but this was still outside the window (so to speak). At roughly 10 meters away, it would certainly be the closest honorable mention so far though!

Tracklog

I resolved to get the Tron achievement on this one. Success! My watch recorded the Track Log
