Located in what appears to be a construction site in north Vancouver, east of the Iron Workers Memorial bridge.

Details

Because of the reachability of the days hash, there were plans to make it a supplementary meetup.

Still tired from the previous days adventure, I set out at 0700 and took the Cypress bike rout through Vancouver only to end up lost in Stanley park for a second time. Once over the Lions Gate bridge I attempted to follow shoreline paths headed east, but encountered dead end after dead end. By the time I reached the Lonsdale Quay (and tuned my self around because it too is another dead end) I was behind schedule, and decided to stick to the first road I came to; which, as luck would have it, was the bike path I had been searching for all morning. The hash point turned out to be right beside a quiet construction site, so I set up camp and waited for my fellow geohashers to arrive. I refilled my water bottle, ate some breakfast (read: left over nibs from the previous day) and took a few pictures. Unfortunately by the time I had to leave no other geohashers had arrived. I spent a full hour waiting (from 0930 to 1030) but the only people who greeted me were a few roaming cyclists and a few roaming deer. I packed up and left a small note for any future travelers to the area. I biked back to the quay and, for change in pace, took the sea bus to Waterfront station and biked back into Richmond to do some volunteering. A successful geohash although it would have been nice to run into another geohasher. *sigh*
