Plans

• Kydlt: On the way if I go that way.

• Michael5000: It was a very accessible hashpoint, but didn't look especially interesting. So, I thought maybe a running expedition would be in order. Then, it occurred to me that my running buddy Molly lived along the way. She bought in, and it became a drag-along. She was very sporting when I admitted that it was a geohashing expedition.

Expedition

• Kydlt: Got there, left a marker. I have a lot of trouble posting from iPad so more when I get home.

• Michael5000: We parked not far off the freeway exit by Hazel Dell. Rather than march right up to the hashpoint, we snuck up on it from behind, by running down the Burnt Bridge trail and coming back around on pleasant evening suburban streets. We probably crossed the hashpoint at ~ 8:15 p.m., and commemorated the moment with a little geohash dance. We didn't see any marker, however.

Returned to the truck and the State of Oregon without further incident. 4.25 miles for the run.

Photos

• 

  This time I used silver tape as a marker. I couldn't find my chalk.

• 

  I tried to get a photo using the selftimer but my timing was off.

  The nearest corner.
