Litho
and they figured out they were both sent by the internet.
Nobody else showed up, as far as they knew, but it turned out, they were both former Navy submariners, so shared sea stories to pass the time. The cheesecake arrived, and was quickly devoured, and then it was time to go.
Raptor again successfully stalks his prey
And for those of you keeping score, that's Bremerton 2, Seattle 0. Come on, Emerald City!

Thomcat
Couldn't make it to the Cheesecake Factory (conflicting schedules), but my beautiful wife picked up chocolate mousse cheesecake for me earlier in the day. Yum!
After trivia, I trundled down to the geohash point. It was dark. Since the location was on the northbound side of a suburban road, I drove through at speed. After a final picture of myself at the point, I drove home with blue spots before my eyes.
HarlequinsDad
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.
