Location

South side of NE 65th St, between 36th and 37th Aves NE. Looks to be right on the (possibly overgrown) sidewalk.

Participants

Plans

  • Thomcat: Car. Stop by on the way to work.
  • Coyotebush: Bike. Time TBD.

Expedition

Thomcat

Seeing this was easier to achieve than inside a high school, I drove slightly out of my way to visit on the way to work.

Have driven on 65th many times to reach the baseball field in Magnuson Park. A little further east of here is the Wishing Meter, documented on a previous expedition.

Arriving at the site, phone GPS was not doing a good job of resolving. I walked up the alley a bit and waved the device in the air which didn't work either. **sigh** I did lean into the bush at the spot (per overhead) for the geohasher picture. The house was occupied and, being early in the morning, I did not wander into the yard for a different angle, although I did stand in the driveway at one point to try and get a better signal.

Calling it a success, I headed a little further east to a local market, hoping for a pastry, then headed off to work.

Apparently Thomcat was already en route by the time I woke up and created this expedition page.

I bike to this neighborhood a couple times a week - steep hills traveling east/west, or an easy climb from the Burke-Gilman Trail to the south.

Headed over around lunchtime and went right to the point. Seems like I got better GPS readings, and I just stayed on the sidewalk (which the bush indeed encroaches on).

Needed lunch and some groceries, so I too continued to the PCC before returning home.
