Location

In David Rodgers Park, Queen Anne, in front of the west goal on the soccer pitch.

Participants

Plans

This is easy!! I'll say 4pm by default but could do other times as well, especially if someone figures out when soccer matches aren't using the pitch. I'll probably just run or walk there from home. Forecast is partly sunny, 50s, no rain... -- OtherJack (talk) 15:56, 19 April 2013 (EDT)

I'll drive almost 300 miles for this geohash - but can't say for certain when I will be there. Going to do a Holy Hash beforehand in Spokane. Will use geohashdroid to give an estimate before I leave. --Thomcat (talk) 20:56, 20 April 2013 (EDT)

Cool, don't worry about going for 4 specifically... somewhat later (5 or 6) might even work better for me. -- OtherJack (talk) 01:09, 21 April 2013 (EDT)

Expedition (Thomcat)

I started Sunday the 21st off with a visit to a Holy Hash at midnight. Then I crashed at a less-than-holy Motel 6 (actually, the words "Gawd Awful" were heard more than once). In the morning, breakfast at the bottom of the hill and then hit the road. I abused Geohashdroid to post to this page to let OtherJack know I was going to make 4:00 easy enough.

On the way! -- Thomcat (talk) @47.6406,-117.4653 09:06, 21 April 2013 (PDT)

Getting closer - 4:00 meetup is great. -- Thomcat (talk) @47.4166,-121.5831 13:09, 21 April 2013 (PDT)

I arrived at the field in question at 4:05 pm, after dropping all the luggage at the house and grabbing a quick bite. Looking at the odometer, I had rolled just past 300 miles for the trip between geohashes, interrupted only by bed, breakfast and a b-word indicating the dropping off of luggage and family (b-livery? Bleh!) I also called OtherJack to let him know I was on the way.

Arrived at the field; no game on, but a few kids were practicing Lacrosse. I know nothing of this sport, but apparently it uses a smaller field than soccer. This means the goal was unused, and I could hash dance to my heart's content.

Snapped a few photos of the field grounds, including one with the phone for geohashdroid upload. In the process of that upload... the phone rang. My apparently single-tasking Android allowed me to chat with Jack (on his way, should make it after 4:30) and then returned to the upload. The file upload made it, but the page edits were clearly lost - though GeohashDroid indicated they were not. Minor problem, I will add it to the gallery now.

Jack arrived, we snapped some more photos, and then I departed for the unpacking of the previous B-load of luggage. One day, two successful geohashes, sixteen hours apart. Huzzah!

Photos

The goal is a bit shabby, but the field has good turf. @47.6456,-122.3602
