Location

Near I-205 and Marine Drive Blvd in Portland

Participants

Plans

This location looks like it is on the street side of a fence adjacent to Marine Blvd, so it should be pretty easy to access.


Expedition

The 5000's

  • Michael & Mrs.5000 rode a 21.1 mile bicycle loop that included the lovely airport/Columbia river bike trail and the less lovely northern few miles of the I-205 bike trail on their way to their first ever non-motorized geohash expedition. At 21.1 miles, it was the longest ride of the year so far for both 5000s.

Michael5000 & Mrs.5000 earned the Bicycle geohash achievement
by cycling 21.1 miles to the (45, -122) geohash on 2010-07-17.

Note: The site is a little overgrown with tall grasses and requires some very minor bushwhacking.

Jim

Jim made it as well, but it was somewhat of a challenge due to bridge construction. He gave up on driving very close to the hashpoint and walked through the traffic.

He also got a Police Geohash out of it, indirectly, and saw what must have been an ice cream truck escaped from over an ocean.

More details after dinner.
