Talk:2013-11-03 47 -122
Original Plans
I will definitely be at the Sunday point, since it's very close to my home. -- AeroIllini (talk) 12:12, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
- Crazy idea time - Hang out at the Sunday hash point in 48, -122 until the clock changes backward (Sunday morning at 1:59 am), then drive to the Seattle point to arrive at the same time. Google maps says the trip is 76 miles, but wimps out to 1 hour 26 minutes. The point in 46,-122 is also quite accessible, and... even further in distance. Corvallis OR to Washougal WA is not too shabby either. --Thomcat (talk) 19:00, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
- Actually, you could leave the 48,-122 hash point anytime after 1:00 am, as that is the hour that will be repeated. This is sounding like a less-and-less crazy idea... --Thomcat (talk) 19:02, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
- Going for a Time-Traveller Geohash award, I see. The time-traveller award has only been given once before for DST shenanigans, in Austria (at the 47N latitude, no less!). This would be a North American first! I'm game if you are. -- AeroIllini (talk) 19:37, 1 November 2013 (EDT)

Aero, you definitely need to scout the Sunday 47,-122 location beforehand (today?) to see if it is achievable. If behind a fence or otherwise no-trespass, then further plans are a no-go. --Thomcat (talk) 20:00, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
- I will stop by today, although I scouted it in Street View and it seems very achievable. -- AeroIllini (talk) 20:05, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
I have no interest in staying up most of the night, nor zooming around western WA. ;-) However, the 47, -122 hash would be fairly easy for me to make, and a nice first geohash. I'm thinking of going there during the day; if anyone else wants to meet up, say so and we'll try and arrange a time, OK? Basil (talk) 02:16, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
- I'd love to meet you, Basil! We haven't discussed daytime specifics yet. My daughter has soccer just northeast of this location (at Judkins Playfield) in the early afternoon, so meeting after that is pretty easy. We haven't heard from other Seattle stalwarts yet either, so they may be in. --Thomcat (talk) 09:45, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
- I've confirmed that Sunday's 47, -122 location is achievable, and I'd be happy to meet Basil there! Should we do a standard 4pm meetup tomorrow? -- AeroIllini (talk) 12:21, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
48,-122
The logistics of stomping around in a farmer's field at 1 in the morning could be interesting, though. Maybe some early contact to ask permission? -- AeroIllini (talk) 19:37, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
- Looks like the hash point is behind the properties on Dusty Lane. Bonus - a property across the street is for sale - zillow. Close the deal fast and you could have a couch potato :) --Thomcat (talk) 20:00, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
- Haha, perhaps. Any thoughts on contacting our friend the farmer at 5205 Dusty Drive in Burlington, WA sometime tomorrow, to prevent incidents involving shotguns at 1 in the morning? Thomcat, are you going to be north at all tomorrow? -- AeroIllini (talk) 20:05, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
- Although, looking at the plat lines, the hash may belong to the house across the way, on Parkridge Pl. -- AeroIllini (talk) 20:11, 1 November 2013 (EDT)

BTW, I think you guys are talking about the 48, -122 graticule. Basil (talk) 02:16, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
