Location

The back corner of a property in Puyallup.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Stop by after work, then continue south to play Fortress America and other board games.

Expedition

I examined this hashpoint using zillow and other "birds eye" maps, trying to determine if it was in a shared greenspace or other useful thing. It did not appear to be.

Hoping that perhaps the property would be for sale and I could "inspect" as a prospective buyer, I went for it anyways. But...

Night and rain and private property - this is as close as I get. -- Thomcat @47.1591,-122.2597 18:40, 26 October 2012 (PDT)

While there were 12 people at the game night, only three of them wanted to play Fortress America. I got through teaching the first turn when 9 people left in short succession - the quiet afterwards was eerie. Partway through the next turn, two more showed up and we ditched FA for another game - Heroes of the World
