About

In a parking area in between Ballard and Fremont, this is one block south of Hale's Brewpub, half a block from the Burke Gilman trail, and right off a major bus route. Can you say Achievements?

EVERYONE, GO AHEAD AND DO WHATEVER EDITING AND MERGING YOU WANT. I JUST THREW THIS UP, SO I WOULDN'T FORGET TO.

• grin* You know we will. Say, I missed or forgot three names. Please trundle over to Largest_Geohash and help me out, will ya? --Thomcat 07:07, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Several of us showed up at the geohash, then went to the pub. More and more people showed up and joined us.

• 

  Most of us, minus two late arrivals

• 

  Nacho raptor

We drank and ate, and played games. Then found a phone booth.

• 

  Getting closer

• 

  Almost full

We were working on the ninth member in the booth, when we were asked to leave, so we returned to the geohash site.

• 

  The group

It turned out to be on the other side of the chain link fence. So we searched for a way in.

• 

  Some of us made it

• 

  Some of us did not

But after a while, we all went our separate ways, leaving only the vaguest trace of the internet.

• 

  All around us, actually...

(who will merge this with the story parts above... when he is more awake)

Nukewaste is the first to arrive (via public transit), followed shortly by Thomcat on his bike. The hash is determined to be behind a fence, but within the GPS error rating. A few more hashers show up (again via public transit or bike), and we head off to the pub.

At the pub, we all qualify for the Pub Geohash achievement and play a game of Brewmaster, while a velociraptor looks on. More geohashers show up, attracted to our clever placement of high tech gear and a Microsoft t-shirt. We are begrudgingly moved to a different table when even more show up, bringing our attendance to 11.

Within the pub's outer area is a phone booth, so we proceed to stuff it. We are just about to attempt 9 geohashers when we are asked to leave.

• 
• 
• 

We then return to the geohash spot for a group photo or 4, and a bicycle ride past the spot for the "speed racer" achievement. Movie upload pending.

• 
• 

A more thorough exploration of the fenced in area is made, and some hashers decide to get even closer to the actual spot.

Showed up a bit late, still met up with the other hashers for a beer and looped back to the site.
