Location

Actual: Deep in the Coast Range, in Coos County.

Perceived: Near Drain, Oregon.

How embarrassing. It would appear that we were actually attempting to get to yesterday's hashpoint. We got within 220 feet of that. We didn't get anywhere near today's actual hashpoint.

Participants

Expedition

On the way through the graticule, we pulled off of Highway 99/38 between I-5 and Drain, driving down a very small road to a gated logging road. We hiked up the logging road, but the "actual hashpoint" was deep in a very dense thicket.

Except, it seems that the so-called "actual hashpoint" was yesterday's hashpoint, so I'm an idiot.

Photos

The hashpoint was NOT in this dense stand of trees. We just thought it was.

Achievements

I'm crediting this fiasco as our first attempt at Douglas County, since that's where we were. The real hashpoint was in Coos County, it appears.
