Location

Meydenbaur Park in Bellevue, near Lake Washington

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Today, but otherwise TBD

Expedition

The day gets away, especially if you are headed on a camping trip on the 'morrow.

An evening geohash can bring out some real beauty. We took the I-90 floating bridge eastbound from Seattle to reach Bellevue. The hashpoint was located between the parking area and the road. I did not mark with sidewalk chalk this time.

After reaching the point, I walked about and saw some of the interesting critters, including a mother duck (hen?) and 3 ducklings on the shoreline. Many pathways (and a few trails) lead to and from the water, and the intrepid hashdog walked them all. We also found a sign that was difficult to decode - the 3rd symbol from the left means don't look at the electric fan? Dunno.

Hash completed, we took the other floating bridge home again at sunset.
