Location

Earth day in Federal Way, just off the West Campus Trail.

Participants

Plans

Going to park at the 7-11 just north of point, then walk down the trail. Should be on-point at roughly 2pm.

Expedition

Got a slightly late start and found myself at the appointed 7-11 just past 2. Bought a reasonably sized geosquishy and found the trail leading south easily enough. The sun dappled trail was paved with blacktop, and I regretted not bringing along sidewalk chalk to mark the spot.

800 or so meters later I spotted where the walkway came to a T junction; just back from this point (and still in the woods) I would find the hashpoint, just off the trail. Indeed I did so, quite easily, and snapped appropriate pictures. I spilled some squishy on the path, but really don't expect anyone else to stroll by this spot today/tonight.

On the way back, I walked through the apartment complex and noted the water feature shown on the map. Nice enough place to live, with a geohash fairly close by - today anyways.
