I'm planning on taking the ferry from Fauntleroy to Southworth, then hitting the deli at 1:00 or so for lunch with my kids. After that, we'll head down and hit the spot, then take the Bremerton ferry back to Seattle afterwards. Short notice, but anyone else interested?

We took the Fauntleroy-Southworth ferry (is there a Ferry Geohash achievement?), then drove to Cosmo's. We had a great lunch, then headed out to the actual spot. Could have walked - it was that close.

About

This geohash is just a few blocks from Cosmo's Deli, in East Port Orchard. From the satellite photo, it appears to be a few tens of yards from the road, in a forested area.

Expeditions

Thomcat

We took the Fauntleroy-Southworth ferry (is there a Ferry Geohash achievement?), then drove to Cosmo's. We had a great lunch, then headed out to the actual spot. Could have walked - it was that close.

  • Cosmo's Deli

  • Lilo says we are close

  • Closest we could get

Unfortunately, the lot was covered with blackberry brambles and other thorny shrubs. With a machete I could have made it, but not with the kids. Fortunately, a home-made dirt track got us pretty close, so my son snapped the photo and we called it good. Dad and happy kids then headed back to Seattle via the Bremerton ferry.

  • Brambles behind me!

  • Motocross track

  • It's for sale if you want it...
