There Will Be Cake

Welcome to the official wiki page of the Vancouver graticule's Second Annual Geohashing Day celebration.

Location

A short bushwhack from a logging road between Dewdney Trunk Road and Alouette Lake. Quality of the logging road is unknown. It appears to be open. There is a small chance that the road will be gated, but it's only a 4 km walk from known good roads.

Participants

Plans

Everyone who intends to come, please indicate here whether you need or can offer a ride, and any time constraints.

Unfortunately 16:30 at Yaletown station is a bit too early for me to meet with the downtown group. Could I join Elbie and Robyn for the 19:00 at UBC group? Whereabouts at UBC would we be meeting? Also, I have the restriction that I have to be home that night, as in I can't participate in a camping hash, if that's still planned. -Srs0 15:10, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Elbie can't attend, so I was going to go earlier, but don't want to leave anyone behind. What's the earliest you can go, srs0?

I have work until 17:00, so the earliest I feel comfortable leaving is 16:00. Then, accounting for a quick stop at home to get the essentials, I'm guessing I'd be able to make it back to UBC by 17:30. Or, alternatively, I could meet at a closer point to my house at around 17:00 (as I guess the limitation of meeting at UBC is no longer there). However, I don't want to inconvenience you if you're planning to leave at 14:00, so I can transit to the closest point and then someone can meet me there? Either works with me, I just don't want to be too much of a burden. -Srs0 15:58, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Can you make it to meet Yangman? If so I can go with the Rhonda car and leave mine at home. -Robyn 16:17, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

According to Translink, I can probably reach Lougheed Town Center skytrain station at around 18:00-18:15. That's 45-60 minutes later than Yangman was planning, but I don't know how flexible he is. If anyone has his contact info (or is on the geohashing channel and he is too), maybe they could ask? -Srs0 16:25, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Definitely flexible if the group is willing to wait. You can find me on IRC to work out details. -Yangman 16:34, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
