Plans

Jim has something in NE Portland during the day, but is thinking he'll take a break to swing around there for the standard 2PM meetup time.

It's reachable, maybe KYdlt will finally meet Jim. I'll aim at 14:00.

Expedition

kydlt

We both made it. I arrived a little before 14:00, Jim a little after. I have been at other hashes that Jim has been at, but never at the same time. It was nice to finally meet another geohasher. And the perfect halfway spot. I live about 75 Km East of here, Jim about 75 Km West. We had a beer afterwards @ 4th St Pub in Gresham.

Three hours later, Michael made it to the spot just as darkness was setting in. It was dark enough, in fact, that I didn't notice the chalk marks.

  I am standing out of the road, but real close.

  I finally met Jim, who has been at some of the same hashes as me, but never at the same time.

  My GPS placed the hashpoint right on the center stripe.
