Location

Right off a nature path north of Hillsboro

Participants

Jiml (talk)

Plans

Well, the original plan was to wander by after my Beaverton evening event.

The spot appears nicely accessible, with a nature trail right there that looks like it would get me close enough.

Expedition

Well, Mother Nature had other plans, as well as for most other folks in the Pacific Northwest.

It was fairly clear in the morning, but the snow started falling during the day. I was at one of our work sites, and managed to catch a ride up to my office for the first part of the afternoon. We finished up what we could, and I headed home a little early, and found the trains pretty much stalled by frozen switches most of the way across Portland.

I eventually made it out to my car, and then slowly made it through the traffic and snow=covered roads to home. It took a couple hours longer than normal. Needless to say, having made it to home via the least trafficked/shortest/simplest route, I wasn't about to head to North Hillsboro to go to some random point that the Internet sent me to.

So, it will get saved for a future retro.
