Location

Driveway of a house near Sellwood/East Moreland. Looks like it is right near the sidewalk in a driveway.

Participants

Jiml

Plans

Jim has something in Portland in the evening, so heading towards the east side beforehand makes a lot of sense.

Expedition

So, I started out by heading west, to Tillamook, in search of the first of two hashpoints. However, that expedition was thwarted, and I continued on to the Sellwood neighborhood, in search of the second one.

The route was pretty easy, though the traffic got slow at times. I remembered enough of the Google maps so I didn't freak out when the point appeared to pass me by with no access.

I found the correct street and slowly drove down it, glancing at the GPS from time to time. Eventually, the distance dropped to 19 feet, which struck me as odd, since it should have been on the sidewalk. But it had drifted, and was now in the midddle of the street.

I took a few pictures and headed off to do some work. No one else was visible, not appeared to have been around.
