Yet again, a shortened version of the original message, which contains
directions to the Birding/Yakathon site...
And now, the good news!!

*Carkeek Park*...located off
3rd St and 110th... It looks like a really nice place...it has reservable
tables, so I reserved 4 tables #15,16,17 & 18 at $5.00/ea for Friday July
28 from 5 pm - 9 pm (when they want us out of the park)..there is a small,
sheltered cooking area there complete with charcoal cookers for our use..
so, it's possible to grill burgers, dogs, etc..there's a parking lot within
50-100' of the tables and access to the Sound and a *truly amazing view*
of the water. Seems like it's got everything..including indoor *facilities*
a short distance away...the place is surrounded by trees and it looks like
**good birding area**...this place is so conveniently located with easy car
access that it will be possible to bring lawn chairs, heavy coolers,
etc..as carrying distance is short..there is another area located down below
this one that is open field surrounded by woodland..I think there will be
something for everyone at this location..We probably won't have the whole
park to ourselves, but when I talked to the schedule person this pm, she
said there was a Girl Scout picnic until 4 pm and after that there was no
other reservation except ours..

My Seattle map says--

from the South: I-5 to 85th...go left on 85th to 3rd..turn right on 3rd.
to 110th...turn left and follow 110th into the Park...

from the North: I-5 to Northgate Way (becomes 105th) right on Greenwood to
110th...left on 110th into the Park.

So, there you have it...

July 28 Friday 5-9 pm
Carkeek Park

Bring everything you want to eat, drink etc...and your binos..


There were some Tweets who posted invitations to out-of-town Tweets who
need some space to roll out a sleeping bag for the night...thanks for
doing that...and if there are any other folks who wish to extend a similar
courtesy, thanks to you in advance...
