Participants
Plans
Lunchtime drive. Google street view has for sale sign; Zillow says last sale was 2011. Fingers crossed.
Expedition
Happy Geohashing Day from Seattle!
No problems finding the location, though my car GPS insisted the road had a different name. I would research that if I were interested - but other things to do!
The house was *not* for sale, of course. They and the house across the street had signs for their school graduates. I snapped one photo and moved on to the alternate expedition.
In researching places to hike down to the ocean, I came across the Iris Trailhead, near Innis Arden. A short hike, culminating in a tunnel under railroad tracks to the beach. Found the trailhead easily.
There was a *lot* of mud on the trail - I slipped and fell multiple times on the way down. When I reached the bottom, no tunnel, no "beach", just a bunch of rocks at low tide. Further research on this is interesting, along with a return visit after it has had a chance to dry out - maybe August.
Expedition failed to reach the geohash point, but I had a good time - and that is the real point. Success!
