| |
| − | Sunday's is solidly in the water, but Saturday's looks to be right in the tidal strip on the east shore of the Kitsap Peninsula (facing Vashon Island), probably a very scenic spot, and perhaps accessible by walking up the beach from a nearby park. However, the lowest tide in that area on 2014-05-10 looks to be around at 9:30 in the morning http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/locations/2152.html which would mean an extremely early wakeup if I were to bike/ferry there. So I'm inclined not to go... -- [[User:OtherJack|OtherJack]] ([[User talk:OtherJack|talk]]) 14:49, 9 May 2014 (EDT)

| − | == May 3-4 ==
| |
| − | Well, May has brought us two quite interesting weekend locations... but there are some problems with each.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Saturday's appears to be about halfway down the steep coastal bluff of Mukilteo. Whether it is too steep for me to bushwhack I'm not sure... if I'm really bored I may head up there, try to get permission from the nearby property owner to pass through, and attempt it. But I may just look for more sane activities closer to home.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sunday's one graticule east looks much less scary - a 250m relatively flat traverse from a well-maintained hiking trail in the woods northeast of Issaquah - but the forecast is for lots of wet showers. If the forecast improves this would be a good candidate for a bike -> hike -> bushwhack hash...

| − | Saturday is a Maury Island forest. Bit cold for a bike hash (and I'd have to start at 12:30 due to other obligations...) and the local bus route doesn't run on weekends. So probably not happening for me. Sunday, on the other hand, is someone's backyard in Bryn Mawr above the lake, and it will be warmer (though possibly starting to rain.)

| |
| − | A few interesting spots this weekend:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Saturday in this graticule is a road in what looks like a clear-cut or burn area (?) on the Olympic Peninsula, would be a pretty ambitious bike ride though. One graticule east it's at the shore of a lake just off the driveway into Boy Scout Camp Pigott, again a long way away from here (for me at least.) I may do some biking closer to home instead, but could be interested in geohashing, especially if I got a lift.
| |
| − | :Jefferson county is a plus. If this point were 3.3 miles west (in the sliver of Clallam County at the NW corner of our graticule) I would go for sure. Not sure what else I have planned for Saturday. --[[User:Thomcat|Thomcat]] ([[User talk:Thomcat|talk]]) 19:27, 31 January 2014 (EST)
| |
| − | :OK cool, I'll stay tuned then. Also, just realized that the brown color on the satellite picture probably just means it's a deciduous forest, not evergreen (and that the picture was taken in winter...) so probably not a burn or clear-cut after all. -- [[User:OtherJack|OtherJack]] ([[User talk:OtherJack|talk]]) 19:39, 31 January 2014 (EST)
| |
| − | ::Bing birds eye shows a *lot* of green trees. Maybe we should head to 46,-121 instead - geohashing in the foothills of Mount Seattle Seahawks... --[[User:Thomcat|Thomcat]] ([[User talk:Thomcat|talk]]) 01:36, 1 February 2014 (EST)
| |
| − | :::That one will probably be snowed in, not to mention really far from a road. Anyway, by default I'm not going for anything Saturday but if you end up going for one of them send me a line... -- [[User:OtherJack|OtherJack]] ([[User talk:OtherJack|talk]]) 04:40, 1 February 2014 (EST)

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sunday, on the other hand, is much closer (a wooded lot off Woodinville-Duvall Road) but I'd have to do it pretty early to get back to my friends' house in Seattle in time for the 3:30 Super Bowl kickoff. Thinking about it though!

| |
| − | Well, I didn't get my Lacey (underwear). The weekend points are Water, Water and a front yard in Auburn. That third one looks achievable, but I will pass on the other two. Besides, I am headed to 47, -120 (about 15 miles east of today's point actually) for the weekend. Auf Wiedersehen! --[[User:Thomcat|Thomcat]] ([[User talk:Thomcat|talk]]) 10:25, 4 October 2013 (EDT)

| − | Both Saturday and Sunday are quite accessible (on road shoulders or parkway strips) and close by! Saturday on Bainbridge Island and Sunday in Mountlake Terrace. Forecast looks wet though. So by default Saturday will only happen for me if there's a bikeable break in the weather (unless I can get a ride). Sunday's has a bus route close by, so will probably go for it regardless of weather, unless it's really coming down hard... -- [[User:OtherJack|OtherJack]] ([[User talk:OtherJack|talk]]) 15:56, 27 September 2013 (EDT)

| − | ::::If I end up taking the bus I may not get there until around 4:15 or 4:20... so I'll change the plan on the expedition page to say 4 or a bit later. (I'll still try to get there at 4 if biking.) -- [[User:OtherJack|OtherJack]] ([[User talk:OtherJack|talk]]) 15:34, 28 September 2013 (EDT)

| − | Two islands for our weekend, Friday and Sunday - the latter the more achievable, as it is quite near the bike trail. Saturday is on a street in the Broadview neighborhood, quite close to my house really. I'll be there at 4, and before that I'll be umpiring a men's league baseball game at Lower Woodland Park[http://geohash.org/c23p0j324nzv] from 12:30 to 3:00, if anyone wants to stop by. --[[User:Thomcat|Thomcat]] ([[User talk:Thomcat|talk]]) 09:48, 2 August 2013 (EDT)

I'm seriously looking at Sunday's here though... it's not that far from a tube station. -- [[User:OtherJack|OtherJack]] ([[User talk:OtherJack|talk]]) 17:49, 2 August 2013 (EDT)

| − | :::Alas nothing this weekend or Monday looks close enough to the meridian to be practical (I don't have access to a car here either.) I might still go to the Greenwich maritime museum that marks said meridian though... that would be still be a very cool activity for a geohasher... -- [[User:OtherJack|OtherJack]] ([[User talk:OtherJack|talk]]) 04:22, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
