Location

On a Traffic Circle in West Seattle

Participants

Thomcat and drag-along son

Expedition

Wednesday, nice weather, unemployed, daughter out of town at camp. What else to do - Geohash!

To get to here you have to head downhill from the main road into a fairly residential neighborhood. We found the exact spot quite easily, then spent some quality time with the various colors of chalk. I don't think anyone could miss that.

Then we headed back up to the top of the hill and down the other side to Lincoln Park, our designated alternate meetup location. From here we walked along the waterfront, skipping stones and exploring. A great day!
