> We could officially declare that mouseover day is sunday this year for the SJ graticule. > I'd come down and help walk the dogs. ~Anniepoo

Well, Mouseover Day (Observed) is Saturday (Actual was last Tuesday), but there's no reason we can't celebrate on Sunday. (Same as how not everyone has their Memorial BBQs on Monday!  :)

See the confluence of Laurel Rd., Schulties Rd & Redwood Lodge Rd., just West of the spot? That's a decent place to meet (also a fair bit of parking and a nice walk to the spot.)

NOTE: by "nice walk", I mean you go down a steep-ish hill then part way back up. I'm by no means a fast-mover but, if you heave health issues, you might want to meet us closer to The Spot.

But if folks wanted to pick a time (3:30pm ish?) to meet at the intersection described above ("at the mailboxes") and walk down with our pups, that'd be great. Basically, that's what I'll be doing, anyway, so as many of you as want to can join us.  :) ~Ted

Noonish-of edit: I'll be at the intersection described above at 3:30, lord willin' and the creek don't rise Anniepoo (talk) 14:55, 26 May 2013 (EDT)

Morning-of edit: I originally thought that the creek might offer us the water achievement but, reading the qualifications, I don't think it's deep enough. Then I thought we might have a potential drowned rat achievement, but you'd have to work pretty hard to get that wet, and folks might claim you were faking it. We were almost assured of getting the walking on water achievement, but that is defined as requiring water deep enough for a basic water achievement. I can understand the originator's wanting to exclude a wet sidewalk, but I'll have to enquire about an actual visibly-flowing creek.

Achievements

This is going to be our officially redeclared mouseover day!!

If anyone wants to shoot for it, this will be an easy no-batteries hash. Also, GoogleMaps shows the creek further West, but I believe it may be VERY close to the spot, in which case also a water-hash.
