Location

The back yard of 924 NW 105th in Ballard

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Knock on the neighbor's door and walk into their back yard.

Expedition

First expedition, four minutes after geohashpoint becomes known - measure how far the hash point is over the back fence. Just over 10 meters away. This is also the measurement used for the closest Honorable Mention for a Couch Potato Geohash.

This is also the soonest a geohashpoint was reached after announcement of coordinates. If we make a 10th anniversary change to the method, this particular option will go away, since all coordinates will be available from the previous day. The previous soonest was 2014-03-11 47 -122 (also in Ballard).

Second expedition, nobody home.

Third expedition, greeted the owner and went into the back yard to take a few pictures. Google overhead shows it within the building, but the spot was just over 2m away when I was a meter from the foundation. I call it a success.
