From Geohashing
Revision as of 23:07, 20 May 2011 by imported>Elbie (→Travel plans: timing)
Location
Partway across the Pitt River near Siwash Island.
Participants
I think this may be our best choice for Geohashing Day.
- Wow. Cool spot. Is anyone familiar with the water there? I would hazard to guess that the current and the distance would make it impractical for dinghies? --Juv
- It's a pretty calm, lazy river. Here's some notes from an expert who says maximum currents in the river are 2.0 kts. I've also talked to someone who had paddled there in the past. -Robyn 18:43, 20 May 2011 (EDT)
In fact, a bit of research shows that canoeing at Siwash Island is an actual thing, that normal people do. The Internet, in all its wisdom has blessed us with a Geohashing Day expedition that won't result in people saying "why?!" There used to be a Canoe rental place right by there, but they had to close when the government rezoned the land. -Robyn 19:06, 20 May 2011 (EDT)
Travel plans
Hey Robyn, how are you planning to get there? Driving? Can I get a ride? - Elbie 17:24, 20 May 2011 (EDT)
- Yes, driving and yes, you definitely may ride with us. Pi, why did you go to Tibet for Geohashing Day? -Robyn 18:19, 20 May 2011 (EDT)
- Thanks! Where do you wanna pick me up, and when?
