Location

On a side road near Lacey

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

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.
