Location
A field near Vancouver, Washington right near a housing development
Participants
Plans
I have some errands to run, and then might run up there to see if I can get to the hashpoint.
Expedition
Well, after my errand, I headed up north of Portland to hunt for the hashpoint. After I crossed the Columbia River, I rechecked my directions and went up a few exits and got off the highway. I headed down a cross street which kept changing names without taking a turn - it was enough to make me think I was in New England.
Finally, I zipped past a little side street which turned out to be the one I wanted. I headed back and went the right way. Eventually the GPS reported we were 150 feet away. And there was a fence in the way.
I parked and looked over the situation. There was a gap between the houses, as Google Maps showed me, but there was no access from this side, as far as I could tell. I asked a neighbor who was getting into his car about access to the field, and he directed me to a house over a few streets.
I went to the house I thought I should, and walked up and knocked on the door. No answer.
I gave up and walked back to the car. Then I looked more closely at the field layout, and realized that maybe there was a different house to check with. I walked back to the main street from the cul-de-sac I was on and knocked on the door there. Still no answer.
As I turned to leave, a young woman emerged from the back of the house saying I was knocking at the door they didn't use.
More later....
