Location

At the end of a driveway near I-5 North of Vancouver

Participants

Jim

Plans

It looks accessible,so I'll try to swing by after work.

Oh wait - it is after work - I guess I better go, then.

Expedition

I ran some errands heading east towards the bridge over the Columbia.

I made it up there as daylight was starting to fade and found that the hashpoint seemed to be at the end of a driveway on a road that ran alongside Interstate 5. I had forgotten the camera, so there were no pictures.

On my way back to the car, someone stopped and asked if I needed help. I attempted to explain about geohashing, but didn't have much luck.

I headed home, running into construction all along the way.

Achievements

Land Geohash
