Location
Just off Route 6, southwest of Centralia, WA.
Participants
Plans
The plan is to drive down to the point from Seattle in the morning, and then make a meetup in the Seattle graticule at 4 pm.
Expedition
The drive down to Centralia was uneventful. I turned onto Route 6 and immediately went into a cell service black hole. Luckily I had remembered the name of the road to turn on, which turned out to be a gravel road about half an hour down Route 6. Once on the gravel, I relied on the distance calculation provided by the Android app. Unfortunately, I was thwarted twice... once by No Trespassing sign, and once by some extremely marshy land when I tried to go around. I was not prepared to ford any rivers, so I stopped as close as I could to the point, which was about 600 ft distant. I'm calling this one a failure, unless someone else wants to declare that I have the benefit of the doubt and 600 ft is "close enough."
