Len,
It's absolutely worth a look. Set your satnav to find the "Ciao Thyme"
restaurant in Bellingham or use coordinates 48.753101, -122.476889. The
mural is on the south wall of the restaurant, next to a fun Last Supper
mural. Google Street View shows the Last Supper but not the sundial of
course. There are a number of impressive murals in Bellingham, so take a
walk around the city centre and Arts District while you're there.
A few years ago I told an exceptionally grumpy US border agent that I
was going to a sundial conference, and he proceeded to quiz me in depth
about whether I was bringing in goods for sale, and was I carrying
commercial samples, was I was a paid speaker, and so on. Now I just
tell them my trips are recreational and I'm going to meet friends -
which is also truthful. :-D

Thanks for sharing this with us, Steve. (I wish I had known that there
would be such an event so close to where I live.)
I remember Sasch sharing his dream with us at a NASS meeting some
years ago and its realization is an event well worth celebrating! Is
there an address (at least one nearby) so we can set our GPS on a
sunny day and drive down to see it in all its glory?
What did US Customs and Immigration say when you told them you were
going to see the "first shadow" of a sundial?😊
