Expedition

Second Expedition

I was going to ride my bike to the hashpoint after class, but Greg offered to drive us there. This was great, because it was cold! We drove up Highway 99, only getting a bit lost once, and pulled into a gravel road to continue the rest of the way on foot. But why were there small rectangular pieces of paper in the gate? Michael5000 had been here already, it seems! We made remarks on how dedicated he must be, both to this sport and to showing us up, to have taken the drive down to Corvallis. And he didn't even visit!

The hashpoint itself was a short trek up the hill from there. The area was logged so we were met with fantastic views of the sunset.

There was a pile of junk sitting close to where we parked.
Someone got here first!

The view to the south, up a hill.
A flag was there, marking the hashpoint. Well, within GPS margin-of-error at least.
