66 / m / 47,-122Lives less than a mile from the 2008-07-03 47 -122 location. Is probably older than you (4th oldest geohasher as of 2008-08-27).
Geohashes
2008-07-16 47 -122 Harlequin, his buddy Kevin, and I made the trek to Vashon Island. While the Google satelite photo showed ample beach, there was none. We must assume that the photo was taken at a very low tide and our visit was at high tide. The exact point was under about 15 feet of water and about 150 yards offshore - so we got as close as we could. My GPS showed: 47 degrees 27.48 minutes North, 122 degrees 26.43 minutes West, and a distance to the mark of .09 miles. My kingdom for a boat!
2008-07-30 47 -122 Harlequin and I dashed down in the evening to this quiet neighborhood in Tacoma - middle of S. Cushman Ave between S. 35th and S. 36th. By the time we got there it was 9pm and kinda dark, so our pictures just show the map, GPS and coordinates (to be posted when I figure out how). Speed limit was only 25mph, so it made "Speed Racer" really easy! I wasn't able to capture the moment as it would have required holding a GPS, camera and watch, getting them all into the picture with the speedometer, and driving all at the same time.
2008-08-28 47 -122 Couldn't get Harlequin out of bed for a 9am attempt, so went solo. Location appears to be just off NE 6th St. in Sammamish, but it turns out to be a private road with posted signs saying "End of County Road" and "Violators will be prosecuted." Closest approach 0.22 miles from location.
