Location

An apartment complex near Inglemoor High School

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Leave home and see the world! Well, okay, just this hashpoint.

Expedition

This is the second reachable hashpoint I've seen in the Seattle graticule in months.

Relatively new phone - have I used it for geohashing?

Updated app - if I have used it, I needed to log in again.

It was good to get out of the home office on a long lunch break. Yes, while some are bored and some are homeschooling, I am still working 40+ hours per week. One of the things I have done the last week or so is visit (empty) baseball fields, lamenting the temporary loss of my second job.

On the way was Inglemoor High School, where I worked 6-7 games last year. The parking lot (and presumably school) were locked up, and the field itself was locked up, but I could lean outside the fence (near the pressbox) and snap a photo of home plate.

That done, I drove the short distance to our geohashpoint. The neighborhood is known as Stonehedge Village (strange name), and this apartment complex is just off the west side. I didn't dig into the minutiae of whether it was part of the "village" or not.

I parked next to the closed playground (hard to guarantee safety from a virus - though the sunshine should help) and walked the short distance to the spot, right in front of a car port. After snapping and uploading, I headed out - geohash complete.
