Location

Seattle, the middle of Latona Avenue NE, just south of 51st NE.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Open for a second visit and meetup, sometime after 4:30 --Thomcat 10:45, 16 August 2012 (EDT)

Expedition: Thom

Got out the door to work at 6:20, made it just across the freeway at 6:30. Time to punch up the Geohash Droid and see where the spot is.

Well, it was south of my normal route to work, but zooming in, it looks to be right on the road. Hot diggity - let's go!

Unfortunately, I cleaned out my car yesterday to go to the dump, and didn't restore my sidewalk chalk to it's rightful location. So I was unable to mark the spot for any future geohashers.

And speaking of them, this particular intersection will be traveled by thousands of people today, as every weekday.

Anyhow, shortening the long story, I reached the spot quite easily and snapped a few photos (below). The picture of geohash droid is blurry - I really need to get better at shooting it. I then walked up and down the neighborhood to see if any young'uns had left their sidewalk chalk for me to borrow, but alas there was none.
