Expedition

Thepiguy's expedition started at Mountain Equipment Coop, on Broadway. Me and my bike had been dropped off at MEC so I could get a few things before school. After spending another thwack of money on some more biking things (man that stuff is expensive!) I started my trip.

I started out on the 10th ave. bike rout and took a right on Ontario. From there I switched to the 37th bike rout until I got to Gladstone. As it turned out, there's no crosswalk at 41st and Gladstone, so all I could do was just run really fast, and hope that the semi-trucks had good breaks.

As promised by google, the location was in a back alley between the houses on 43rd and 44th. There were a few residents milling around at the other end of the alley, but besides them it was pretty deserted.

I only spent around 5 minutes at the hash (it seems each geohash I go to, it takes less and less time) and didn't have anything to leave as a marker.

I took the 37th bike rout to UBC and even made it in time for my 14:00 class! (To make up for that though, I'm updating the wiki from class.)
