Location

Parking lot of a Lynnwood apartment complex

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Stop by on the way to work

Expedition

This was an extremely easy Geohash to visit. I pulled into the apartment complex in question, where two other cars were idling to warm up. The temperature outside was a brisk 24 F, or 4 below C. This weather is unusual for coastal Seattle.

I should find and turn off the "location tracking" photo option, as geohashdroid still picks up on it, and it is off by 10 meters or so. I parked right on the spot, geohashdroid reporting I was at 0.2 meters from the location at it's best. I opted not to do a below freezing hash dance.

This geohash falls on a special day for me, and I wish a happy 20th wedding anniversary to my loving wife. While not an active geohasher, she has been along on a few and tolerates my hobby.
