Logistics
Looks like an easy one for any Stanford-area geohashers: Just off Alpine Road, possibly in private land (Please Do Not Tresspass). I'll try to check it out, but it's going to be late (like, 8:30pm or later). Hopefully someone will scout it before then and let me know what to expect ;-) --Tapin 17:47, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
I might drop by on the way home from work. Would be leaving RWC at around 4pm. FunkyTuba 19:36, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Ugh - close enough, but not really the sort of journey I'd care to make during drive-time hours. Will see if I can't shift things around here at work and do a mid-afternoon "lunch" hour to scout things out, though. --Youhas 19:56, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
I'll swing by there on the ride home, around 6:30pm or so. Zigdon 20:16, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
