Location

Tualatin, Oregon, on a trampoline in a back yard

Today's battleship location is: C 4

Participants

Plans

We're both thinking about going. No timing yet.

Expedition

APR is coming by to pick up Jim. Jim's busy printing out Maps and such.

We set out on a very pretty afternoon south from Hillsboro to Tualatin.

We saw Mt. Hood on the way, which is unusual for this time of year. We dodged around a injured car as we passed over Hwy 99W, and then continued south. APR's GPS sent us in the right direction, and eventually we got to the correct address in a housing development.

We walked up and rang the doorbell and attempted to explain why two random people wanted to go into her backyard and take a picture. She gave us a strange look and said go ahead. Once we had managed to get the gate to open for us, we walked in. We were at 16 feet when we got to the edge of the trampoline.

Jim considered bouncing on the trampoline for an Air Geohash, but we decided that wouldn't go over very well. We took a few pictures and headed for home, stopping to add a comment to the Wiki before we left.
