Just off the shore of Lake Washington

Retro Expedition

On 2009-08-16, Thomcat was in the area and wanted to measure just how close to shore the previous day's Saturday geohash was, and also look to see if any markers were there.

After measuring the geohash distance from the parking and the shore (closest was approximately 180 meters due west of the hash point), I then sat back to watch some Dragon boats - Seattle Club Sake. Looks like fun, will have to try that sometime.

Just as I was getting ready to leave, two guys showed up with a camera and GPS - no, couldn't be. I went over and introduce myself to Jhon and Danny, two geohashers from Portland who were on their way through town and thought the same as me - let's see how close to shore this really is.

To my knowledge, nobody went on Saturday, but I proclaim it a meetup success anyhow on Sunday!
