Location

On the paved path next to Lake Washington Blvd, just south of Mount Baker Park.

Participants

Plans

An hour's travel each way by either bus or bike. Tentatively aiming for a 4pm meetup, but given that sunset is at its earliest of 4:17pm I would also be happy to go earlier. Coyotebush (talk) 02:19, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Will probably be after 5 for me; gotta clear customs first. Always happy to join a Saturday meetup! --Thomcat (talk) 04:54, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Expedition

coyotebush

This morning I decided that trying to coordinate schedules with Thomcat would be a little too hard, and that I would much rather visit in the daylight anyway. Sorry, Thomcat, hope to meet another time! With that decided, I was aiming for early afternoon, but by the time I had finished a lazy morning and talked myself into the bike ride it was nearly 3. I put some air in the tires and set off at a comfortable pace in the 41 degree weather. The sun was settling into a newly developed haze over the city.

I last visited Lake Washington Blvd in July while participating in a "bike bingo" scavenger hunt. Today I tried a new southbound route via the University Bridge and Boyer Ave, but found it not especially appealing. After a few short pauses along the lake shore, I arrived at the point minutes before 4. I took pictures of the area but didn't linger long. The numerous runners passing by must have been puzzled.

Rather than attempt the full return trip immediately, I made a stop at the Leschi Starbucks to warm up with a drink and a snack.

Evening faded to night as I continued north. This time, I chose the Montlake Bridge to catch the Burke-Gilman trail farther east. With one more stop for groceries, I was home again by the time Thomcat arrived at the point. Good job finding my tiny lake rocks in the dark.
