Remove this section if you don't want an image at the top (left) of your report.  You should remove the "Image:" or "File:"
 
tag from your image file name, and replace the all upper-case word IMAGE in the above line.
 
 
And DON'T FORGET to add your expedition and the best photo you took to the gallery on the Main Page! We'd love to read your report, but that means we first have to discover it! :)

Expedition

I had business in the area, so decided to try for this geohashpoint and add this graticule to my list. First expedition here in over six years!

Geo-coordinates on the sat nav system took me right to the spot, parking within 10m. I walked around and got that down to less, but always with a very large error window. Could be these power lines, could be the effect of Foo Fighters. Regardless, I was on or crossed over the spot several times.

On my way back to Olympia, I passed this sign while entering Lacey. I had no idea it was the City of Trees. Time to go fix that wikipedia entry, though.
