Location

A farmer's field near Waterville

Participants

Thomcat

Expedition

Left work at 4, hoping to get to Leavenworth by 6 for a conference call. Didn't quite make it, so I stopped before the pass.

En route, quick stop in Skykomish. -- Thomcat (talk) @47.7084,-121.3608 17:58, 11 June 2015 (PDT)

The Skykomish library has excellent wi-fi, so a Skype conference call went well. Business done for the day, I continued east to the geohash - arriving near sunset.

Drove through Waterville and then down airport road. The road leading to the geohash field was unimproved, aka dirt. I stopped at the widest spot in the road which was approximately west of the geohash.

The field was plowed but not yet planted, so I made my way across the soft earth to the (dry) creek and across to the actual point. No connectivity (of course), so I snapped pictures with my phone. Very pretty country here.

Finishing that, I tramped out along my incoming footsteps and continued further east to Spokane.
