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! :)

Location

South side of NE 65th St, between 36th and 37th Aves NE. Looks to be right on the (possibly overgrown) sidewalk.

Participants

Plans

  • Thomcat: Car. Stop by on the way to work.
  • Coyotebush: Bike. Time TBD.

Expedition

Thomcat

Seeing this was easier to achieve than inside a high school, I drove slightly out of my way to visit on the way to work.

Have driven on 65th many times to reach the baseball field in Magnuson Park. A little further east of here is the Wishing Meter, documented on a previous expedition.

Arriving at the site, phone GPS was not doing a good job of resolving. I walked up the alley a bit and waved the device in the air which didn't work either. **sigh** I did lean into the bush at the spot (per overhead) for the geohasher picture. The house was occupied and, being early in the morning, I did not wander into the yard for a different angle, although I did stand in the driveway at one point to try and get a better signal.

Calling it a success, I headed a little further east to a local market, hoping for a pastry, then headed off to work.

coyotebush

Apparently Thomcat was already en route by the time I woke up and created this expedition page.

I bike to this neighborhood a couple times a week - steep hills traveling east/west, or an easy climb from the Burke-Gilman Trail to the south.

Headed over around lunchtime and went right to the point. Seems like I got better GPS readings, and I just stayed on the sidewalk (which the bush indeed encroaches on).

Needed lunch and some groceries, so I too continued to the PCC before returning home.
