Congrats on the birthday geohash, Elbie!  I would have come if I was in Vancouver.  Also, impressive walk geohash, Robyn!  Most impressive!  Too bad the property owner was a jerk.  I'm glad you got tot he hashpoint despite him though!  -[[User:Srs0|Srs0]] 20:08, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

:: Thanks too. I'm very glad I got there after all that walking. I'm glad it was on the path, but still disappointed I didn't get to share my triumph with someone who could just happily think I was crazy.

Congrats on the hash! Sorry I couldn't make it out. I wasn't feeling too well in the late afternoon and decided against biking several hours in the rain. [[User:Yangman|Yangman]] 00:25, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

:I hope you're feeling better now.  We had one walker, one biker and one motorbike, so that's a pretty successful geohash. -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 01:02, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Pre-planning note

Looks like I can't take the entire day off work after all; currently, looks like the earliest I can leave will be around noon, maybe 14:00. I think I may opt for designating an alternate along the way to the hash, or something like that, if the coordinates aren't reachable from an afternoon departure. - Elbie 00:28, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Wade says he'll go if it's in Yaletown. Wade is a very enthusiastic geohasher, as you know. -Robyn 02:16, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
It's not exactly Yaletown, but I can make it anyway. --Wade 14:34, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Location query

Somebody's back yard, got that. What is that to the west of that? Some sort of massive solar farm? --Thomcat 14:18, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Agricultural greenhouse. Vancouver doesn't have solar farms. We have the same weather as you. -Robyn 15:04, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
It is a solar farm. It just produces biomass instead of electricity.  :-) Jiml 19:21, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Too late...

Doesn't look like I'm going to make it. Heading back after 8, closer to 9 if successful, will have me getting home close to midnight. Don't like doing that too many times in a week. Sorry... -- Rhonda 20:09, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

No worries. Do you get off work earlier that 17:00? If so, we could push the times up sooner. - Elbie 20:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Well, it's a combination of getting home late and having something else I wanted to do this evening. Work has actually been intermittent the last few days so I could have maybe made a daytime attempt, but that would not let me meet up with everybody who had to work. -- Rhonda 20:52, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
