Location
Today's hashpoint in the Surrey graticule appears to be in somebody's kitchen (or at least, just inside the house on the back by what appears to be a deck) in Coquitlam. The backyard appears to be fenced.

Abduction
Once we had exhausted the entertainment possibilities of an inaccessible geohash in someone's house or back deck, we suggested to Sue that she earn an Abduction geohash ribbon by taking the people she had just met in a driveway back to her place. (Is that a reverse abduction?) She agreed, and quickly calculated the best way to do that with bicycles.
She served us iced tea, the unsweetened kind, made with green tea and we lounged around on the freshly mowed (thanks Scott) back lawn where we were visited by a woodpecker and a robin and some small lawn bugs, as well as by Sue's brother Scott. He seemed completely unsurprised that we were from the Internet. That's apparently where Sue gets most of the people she brings home.
Home
After leaving Sue's, we decided to to make our way back west via Brunett Ave. As any Coquitlam native will attest to, this is a terrible route to travel even by car during rush hour, and gets increasingly worse as one heads west towards the on-ramp to Highway #1; doing so on bikes was not only unpleasant but ridiculously dangerous. After a few blocks, just as we were approaching the dangerous area, it was decided that the best thing to do was to climb north into central Coquitlam to less congested suburban streets.
Yang led Robyn and Rhonda to the bike trail that was supposed to lead around the south side of Burnaby Mountain. At first we suspected he was angling for an abduction ribbon of his own, but it turns out that the riding is much better on the bike route even if you do need to go about ten blocks up another big hill to get there.
Thanks to Yang's guidance, Rhonda and Robyn only got a tiny bit lost on the way home. (Is it lost if you know which body of water you're looking at, and where you have to be in relation to it, but are not immediately sure how to get there without going through an industrial site?) We also found a bit of the Trans-Canada Trail and Robyn found a bike route she'd never heard of.
It was a thoroughly fine way to waste a day.
Photos
The first two batches of slightly more photos than we need to show how much fun we had in a stranger's driveway.
The Blackberry can't find the hashpoint.
The etrex can, but it's not where we are.
Robyn and Yangman in front of the house.
A beautiful day
Our xkcd sign
Sue found a secret trail in the park.
Walking through thorns couldn't get us close enough at the back.
We still smile.
Sue abducted us.
Robyn couldn't find a game in her bag.
So we basked in the sun
Even T-Rex
RAWR!
And Sue photographed Robyn while she ...
...photographed everyone.
