Location

On a path in a powerline park in Auburn

Participants

Expedition

We woke up on Tuesday morning, checked the hashpoints, and saw that there was nothing much of interest in Oregon or Washington, so we enjoyed a nice day at home taking care of chores.

Then, we woke up on Wednesday morning, checked the hashpoints, and saw that there was a trio stretching roughly from Seattle to the Tri Cities. That seemed a little excessive, but then it's geohashing, right? So, we had lunch in Tacoma before leaving I-5 on Washington Highway 18, then ducking south a few miles to a newish suburban neighborhood in the hills. The hashpoint was pretty much as expected, on a trail under powerlines, with a nice view off to the north into the Seattle suburbs.

After a short stroll, I programmed the GPS 1 degree of longitude east and off we went to 2022-07-06 47 -121.
