Expedition
It has been snowing and raining off and on for several days in Portland, and although it has warmed up considerably the temperature is now fluctuating between 30F and 34F, which is to say -1C and 1C, and you can just imagine. Geohashing hasn't really been in the picture, but when I checked hashpoints this morning I saw that our transit system, TriMet, was essentially offering direct service from my house. That was super-nice of them, even if it wasn't intentional.
The hardest part was the icy six steps down from the porch, and then I fell once during the two and a half blocks to the bus stop. From there, though, it was just a matter of letting the #75 trundle north, turn, trundle west for a bit, and then drop me at the hashpoint. The app was telling me I'd arrived while I was still getting situated.
On the return trip, I let the bus take me a few extra blocks, treated myself to my first restaurant meal in a while, and then picked up a few groceries before slipping and sliding the six blocks home.
