Remove this section if you don't want an image at the top (left) of your report.  You should remove the "Image:" or "File:"

And DON'T FORGET to add your expedition and the best photo you took to the gallery on the Main Page! We'd love to read your report, but that means we first have to discover it! :)

Expedition

So originally I planned to visit on the way back from the library - picking up some books for winter weekend hibernation. Yes, we don't get much snow in Seattle, but the danger of a town where absolutely nobody can drive in the snow is not to be underestimated!

Distracted, I returned home first, then went back out to visit the hashpoint (with dragalong dog). Right in the middle of the road, I was able to park on the spot. I confirmed that the arrows shown in the streetview (conveniently pointing to the hashpoint) were no longer there, but opted not to recreate them in blue chalk that would be wiped away in a few hours.

Returning home, I saw there were no geohashes in or on Meridian, and none in Shoreline. Will have to write those challenges up soon.
