Location
The backyard of 5517 37th Ave NE in the Bryant neighborhood.
Participants
Plans
I'll come by around 3:30 (unless I hear otherwise from you Thom) from work by bike, and try to get Ambassador, though probably no one will be home. Later than that won't be feasible for me though, unless I were to try for quite late (e.g. 6:30). Don't want to be the creepy guy attempting the ambassador ribbon after dark though... -- OtherJack (talk) 16:50, 12 February 2014 (EST)
- 3:30 is as good as any other time - will extract myself from the keyboard and meet you thereabouts. --Thomcat (talk) 16:53, 12 February 2014 (EST)
Expedition
OtherJack
Thomcat
Second to arrive, I spotted OtherJack and parked. Pulled put GeohashDroid and found myself more than 2 blocks (330 meters) away. Hrmmm.... No geohash droid for me. Discussed at length with Jack as we approached the door.
Our lucky Seattle-ite was home, and Jack and I introduced ourselves and described our mission. The back yard, near the fence - though my GPS phone insisted I was a few football fields away. I snapped a picture of Jack and his much more successful location (below), then we discussed other geohash locations we have visited. Chicago! Germany! Paris!
On the way home, I fiddled with GPS tools (at stop signs of course). Nothing helped, so I tried rebooting the device. Success!
- Gps accuracy restored - power cycled the device. -- Thomcat (talk) @47.7081,-122.3287 16:14, 12 February 2014 (PST)
Regardless, I really need a new phone.
Photos
Ben's back yard - near the spot.
