Location

On the track at Skyview Jr High in somewhat rainy Bothell, Washington.

Participants

[user:Thomcat]

Plans

Today's location is less than 500m from Thomcat's office, so he plans to walk there.

Expedition

The morning's rain let up and the sun came out. After round after round of oppressive meetings, I needed to get a breath of fresh air.

A well kept trail leads up from the parking lot and ends up in the housing development south of the Geohash. Per the google satellite view, I should be able to cut through to the track. Nay, it was not to be. 68 meters from the geohash and 3 fences stood in my way.

I then trekked around to the east - the school's streetfront. Just as I reached the campus, the bell rang to let the kids go. A quick step along the track brought me to the hash point, where I took a few photos. A quick walk back got me to the office in time for an afternoon meeting.

Plus one successful geohash!

Photos

coming soon!
