Participants

Plans
Hiro has been staying in Toronto over a month now, and finally there was a geohash in reasonable distance to downtown Toronto! And Splitdipless also seems to be coming along :)
Yup, I'm in. I finish work after 4:30pm. I can be there at 5:30pm at the latest. Splitdipless 17:27, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Meeting on the street between 5.15 and 5.30 it is then! Anybody else wants to join us? :) And any ideas on what to do if they don't want to let us in? I thought of flying a kite over the building and making it a Geohash by proxy achievement, would that count?! --HiroProtagonist 18:42, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, it would also be a Fly a kite achievement. Splitdipless 19:40, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Expedition
Splitdipless
After work, I got in my 'Em,' my car, as fast as I could and took off down the road. I had other people from the Internet to meet. Finding a quiet residential street to park on, I walked towards Eastern Ave. and the film studio lots. I didn't even need to cross the road, as just ahead of me was Hiro and a school chum looking for a break in traffic to cross.
After introductions were made, we walked down a bit to some lights to cross and check out access. The front building looked boarded up, and the first gate we came to was chained and locked. Walking down a bit to Pape Ave., we took a look at the newer building, but it too looked very unused, and the gate in front of it was also chained and locked. We made our way back to the first gate, as it was 'closer.' We were off by about 100 m.
Hiro had an interesting little print-off for proof that she attached to the chain-link gate, we took some very important photo evidence, then went on our merry way. Me to my car, and the others to public transit.
It's sooo cool to finally run into another Geohasher, and I hope it happens again.

Not quite close enough.
Would you look at that handsome devil?
The Internet has arrived in force.
Look! We were here! Paper proof!
The reason we had to turn away.
