Another Walk geohash opportunity arose, simiilarly to 2010-05-09 26 -80 (a success) and 2011-04-09 26 -80 (a failure), leading me to finally pry my butt off my computer chair (where I've been feverishly documenting file formats like APF Imagination Machine tokenized BASIC for a different wiki project) and go for a nice long walk, but short enough to be doable. This spot was in the same basic direction as those other two, but a little bit further. The wiki and the iPhone app had a bit of a disagreement about where on the block the actual point was, but I covered both spots. And the Goodyear Blimp put in an appearance again!

  Setting out on my adventure...

  Steph/Jay and Jennifer/Josh are still together... on the sidewalk, at least; I have no idea about real life.

• 

  The iPhone app thinks the hashpoint is in front of this house.

• 

  But the wiki knows it's in this vacant lot down the block from the other spot.

  Another view of the lot.

  More sidewalk lovers showed up on the return walk on a different route: Martin and Thomas. I don't know if they're two guys (not that there's anything wrong with that...) or one of them is actually a girl.

  And to signal my return home, the Goodyear Blimp showed up just like it did the other time.

Dtobias earned the Walk geohash Achievement by reaching the (26, -80) geohash on 2013-01-20 on foot, travelling a distance of 6.6 mi (3.3 each way).
