Location

In a forested area near Maltby.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Stop by after work.

Expedition

Much closer than Tuesday, but pouring rain. Worth a look. -- Thomcat (talk) @47.7911,-122.1867 15:41, 4 April 2013 (PDT)

And it was much closer. Google and Bing overhead surveys placed it outside the lots occupied by houses to the east in a forested area. Looks to be right off the cul de sac - future development perhaps?

Too good to be true was more like it. This "greenspace" is marked plainly as No Trespass and Tampering with this Property a Federal Offense. I just wanted to visit a geohash point :P

After examining the many lovely signs, I drove around to the other side - if one of the lots were for sale, I might just lean over the fence to pick up the geohash? No luck - one was fenced and occupied, the other less fenced but nobody home. No ambassador, and besides it was raining pretty hard. Expedition fini.

Photos

Hmm, they seem pretty serious about this. @47.8007,-122.1011
No geohash today! @47.8007,-122.1011
