Expedition
Once upon a time, the Black River flowed out of the south end of Lake Washington and joined up with the White River to form the Duwamish River. It was a beautiful, meandering river, though it occasionally flooded and flowed back into the lake. The people of Seattle wanted to build a Ship Canal and connect their big lake to the sound, and because of that, the Black River disappeared.
Today's geohashpoint is on a hillside, the bank of that long forgotten river, and quite near a park set up in its name. This is probably also worth of a Tale of Two Hashes challenge.
