Location

Driveway of a house in south Rose Hill, Kirkland.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Stop by after work.

Expedition

South Rose Hill is just a few freeway stops south of my office in Canyon Park. I left work about 3:30 and headed towards today's geohashpoint.

According to google maps, the point is in front of the house, close to where the electric meter would be. I parked in front of the house and took a few preliminary pictures (below). I then stepped onto the lawn and was pretty much at the point.

Not sure if it was cloud cover (very overcast!) or other conditions, but the GPS error window kept growing and shrinking. Rather than dance around on the slightly damp lawn looking for a zero reading, I figured it was better to claim success from a few meters away.

I dropped a flyer in the mailbox and headed for home, hitting a few patches of rain in the process. I just hope some of that rain goes where the wildfires are still burning.
