Plans

Frogman (talk): I planned to get Alison and my friend Chris, but neither of them could come. In the process of coordinating the expedition, I asked Dmitriy and Bobby if they wanted to come, and they were able and willing.

Expedition

Expedition 1

I went before work, because I could. "Nothing much to see here, folks," as the police say in the pulps. The part I liked is that the neighborhood is only about 2/3 built, so while many homes are clearly lived in, there was also a constant rattle of hammering, sawing, concrete grinding, drywall installation, and landscaping echoing through the narrow spaces between the big new houses.

I didn't leave any artifacts, because the hashpoint is in somebody's driveway.

Expedition 2

It was about 8:30 when we left Troutdale and pretty dark. We thought we got lost on the way there but it turned out we actually were going the correct way. The hashpoint was a fairly uninteresting sidewalk, which we loudly discussed and probably annoyed the locals before heading back into town. We went to KFC on the way home and had apple crisps.

Photos

The hashpoint is just off the sidewalk on the left part of the driveway. Yay.
