Expedition

Thomcat

It was my task to be out of the house with two companions from 11:30 to 1:00 - my companions can be unsociable at times. They also like to visit random places and leave their mark. Born geohashers!

Drove to near the spot and parked in the parking lot of Verathon, selecting an appropriate chalk color and visiting the spot itself. I left messages for future geohashers... at least until it rains.

We then proceeded around the complex to visit (and smell) more interesting locations. Running through this business park is North Creek, a salmon habitat. Many small dogs were walking with their owners along the trail, which seems pretty interesting overall. By the time I returned to the geohash point, the sun had come out and I snapped one more photo to go.
