The first successful Pittsburgh meet-up in which people who didn't know each other actually... met up!
Psychopez, Mike H and his girlfriend ChristineB (who was in town from Albany, NY), and Kelly M and Emily met in the parking lot of the Sycamore Creek Nursing Center in Coraopolis, PA, at the Pittsburgh West geohash. The exact location was behind the building, in the woods, and we had insufficient permissions to venture to the exact spot, but we got pretty close, and since the meeting took place, we made a note here of great success. After the obligatory awkwardness, we asked a nurse walking to her car to take picture of 5 people who met at a location because the internets told them to.
MikeH's GPS, showing our location in the parking lot. Another couple dozen feet, through the nice, quiet nursing home and we'd have been at the actual coordinates. But we did not wish to unduly scare the elderly.
The glorious parking lot where we met.
The wild untamed grass we would have gone through had we snuck around that fence, and behind the building. PRIME raptor hiding area. Good thing we avoided it.
Emily, KellyM, Psychopez, MikeH, and ChristineB. Success!
