Location
A home near Garden Home, Oregon
Participants
Plans
I thought there were no feasible (for me) hashpoints this weekend, but apparently, I forgot to look at Monday. I'm already in Portland to donate blood, so I'm going to go swing by and try for this one.
Expedition
I went by, but I didn't quite make it by four, despite what Google Maps told me.
I never found the correct turn off the Capital Highway, but I followed my GPS, and finally got there.
My GPS was suddenly having trouble staying locked on the signal. I was 60 feet away and it would point in one direction, and then completely spin around. It was in a urban area, so there wasn't a lot of overhead trees to explain this. I finally was going to ask permission to enter a backyard, but it hit 21 feet upon entering the driveway, so I decided to take a picture and declare it a success.
Photos
There were walking paths in the area
Area near the hashpoint
Another view of the neighborhood
Another Honda Element near a hashpoint!
Yes - the GPS made it
As did I
