July 7 will be Elbie's birthday, and she duly plans to get that Birthday Geohash ribbon.

Location

Somebody's back yard outside Langley. Transit accessible!

Planning

It's a nearly three hour bus ride from UBC: 99, then Expo Line to King George, then 502 to Langley, then C-something to the hashpoint.

Since people have work, let's try for a meetup outside the house where the point is at 20:00.

Elbie's plan

• 17:00 - leave UBC by bike
• 17:40 - arrive Commercial Station
• 18:30 - arrive King George Station, then bike to Langley [1]
• 20:00 - arrive at arrive at point, conduct ambassador hash

Wade's Plan

• 18:40 - leave work by motorbike
• 19:00 - pick up Robyn's motorcycling gear
• 20:00 - arrive at point

Robyn's Plan

• 13:10 - leave home on foot
• 20:00 - arrive at point

Participants

• Elbie
• Wade: I've decided to decide once the location is known. Committed to not miss by oversight, but still reserve the right to bail if the time or location doesn't work for me.
• Robyn: No longer in the Yukon, and bought a new computer

Expedition
