Location

The backyard of a home in Hillsdale, Oregon

Participants

Jim

Plans

Both hashpoints appeared possible today, so I figured I'd try for a multihash!

Expedition

I went for this point first since I expected I might need permission to get to it, and it would be easier to get that earlier rather than later.

I found my way to the street, and watched the GPS as I climbed the hill, parking when I got close. A little back and forth in the road betwen the two houses showed that it appeared to be in the backyard of the first one, so I went up to to the door to ask for permission to enter the backyard. I easily got it, went into the yard, found the hashpoint and took a picture.

Then I headed off to the Tillamook Forest.
