Expedtion Two
Jim finished up the chores he had to do and headed out. He first went in search of blueberries, but took a wrong turn on the back roads he was taking and ended up going the long way around. However, around one turn he ran into a graveyard. Since he was still in Washington County, I guess that means that this expedition qualifies for his "Graveyards of Washington County" series. He also got to take a picture of Mount Hood since it was being quite visible.
He got some more blueberries, and then put them way in the back of the car so he couldn't snack on them on the way, resulting in a loss of 20-30% of the original amount. He then headed for Portland, but was struck by how heavy the traffic was.
However, it thinned out, and he eventually made it to SE Portland. He didn't find Stark Street, but finally decided to just follow the GPS direction arrow and see what happened. I eventually found myself at Lone Fir, which seems to be a Pioneer Cemetery, whatever that is.
I wandered around for a while looking a grave markers, then let the GPS lead me to the hashpoint. There was a pioneer rose garden at the "zero" distance point, so I stuck to the outer edge at 10 feet or so. There actually were a number of graves close in, so a number of folks may have a Coffin Potato.
I took some pictures, wandered a little more, and headed home.
Photos
