Location

On a side road in east Redmond WA

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Drive by on the way back to the office from a doctor's appointment

Expedition

Appointment went well, headed north on 405 and almost forgot to hang a right to Redmond. Cut east on 85th and almost didn't need the GPS to get me to the neighborhood, and a certain famous brick road.

Here is some more information about the greater Yellowstone Trail, including a black and white photo of the area around the geohashpoint. If I had been around then, I could have walked right to the point, but in our modern implementation, it was behind a fence, complete with barbed wire and no trespassing sign.

An interesting expedition, not far out of my way, but no success this time. I celebrated by getting a much-needed car wash nearby!
