Expedition
Thomcat went unannounced in the morning with the dog, being an excellent day for walking said companion. Yes, West Seattle is a little further than the neighborhood park around the corner, but there was a geohash to be had! Also, previous thoughts of visiting said geohash with the family around 4pm had fallen through.
We walked along the path, snapping pictures and sniffing and staring at abundant squirrels. Many of the wild spaces between paths are eminently crossable, but the geohash area proved to be a bit wilder than that.
Still, following the lead of my faithful companion, I went gently into that good undergrowth. Probably saved the Zebburkeconte family from a few spider bites by knocking them all down :) Trees caused a lot more geohash dance than usual. After a bit of back and forth and around said trees, we found the spot and uploaded appropriate pictures.
We then returned to the path and continued on to one of Seattle's outdoor swimming pools, situated right next to the beach and the Puget Sound. Looping south past the ferry dock, we returned to the car and a trip north - where the rest of the family was still fast asleep.
