About
This geohash is just a few blocks from Cosmo's Deli, in East Port Orchard. From the satellite photo, it appears to be a few tens of yards from the road, in a forested area.
Expeditions
Thomcat
We took the Fauntleroy-Southworth ferry (is there a Ferry Geohash achievement?), then drove to Cosmo's. We had a great lunch, then headed out to the actual spot. Could have walked - it was that close.
Unfortunately, the lot was covered with blackberry brambles and other thorny shrubs. With a machete I could have made it, but not with the kids. Fortunately, a home-made dirt track got us pretty close, so my son snapped the photo and we called it good. Dad and happy kids then headed back to Seattle via the Bremerton ferry.
