Got a lot of housework taken care of on Sunday and figured I had time for a geohash. A short drive up the freeway to Everett deposited me just south of Silver Lake, which I circumvented to reach the hashpoint.
When I first opened up the droid, it found the hashpoint on the edge of the road, near the foundation of a light standard and just meters away from a coffee stand. I decorated the side of this with sidewalk chalk and snapped a picture.
Going for the wiki upload, the point was now a meter or so off the curb in the other direction - a relatively busy road. I snapped a selfie and proceeded to upload both.
Following this, I drove a short distance north (but out of visual range, so no pub award here) and had a pint while watching the last 10 suspenseful minutes of the AFC championship game (NFL).

My dad and I decided to drive up there. We concluded based on the satellite images that it was in the right-turn lane, so we passed through it in the car. Unfortunately it was too close to the intersection to drive through at 30 mph.
