Driving due to other commitments. 4pm perfect. --Thomcat (talk)

Expedition

A sunny morning turned to light clouds by early afternoon. Coyotebush debated between routes suggested by Google Maps before selecting a simpler route from Garmin heading directly north from Green Lake. Not too much traffic today, but the segments without bike lanes might have been less pleasant at peak commute times. Influenced by the conservative time estimates from Google Maps, coyotebush arrived 10 minutes early at the semi-private drive, then retreated to the public road to watch for Thomcat.

  • Looks promising but don't want to disturb the neighbors more than necessary for the meetup -- Coyotebush (talk) @47.7215,-122.3358 15:50, 10 February 2024 (PST)

Thomcat drove to Spud first, along with other errands (remounting closet doors, etc.). Hashdog Daisy went with, and I arrived by car at 3:58pm.

Together they proceeded towards the lake. At the point they found waste bins belonging to one of the houses. They admired an artificial stream in the well-manicured yard to the west. Then they returned to the road and parted ways.

Coyotebush returned home by a different route, up and over a large hill comprising the Maple Leaf neighborhood.

Thomcat returned to his domicile to consider why his Android photos are now uploaded sideways... :/
