And DON'T FORGET to add your expedition and the best photo you took to the gallery on the Main Page! We'd love to read your report, but that means we first have to discover it! :)

Location

In the parking lot of the Beaverton Home Depot

Participants

Plans

I go by this location most weeks. I'll swing by on my way home.

Expedition

It was a dark and stormy night.

It was raining and dark by the time I got to the hashpoint, so I didn't get out and wander around. My first pass through the area, the batteries in the GPS were just about dead, so it claimed I only got to 40 feet away, and then died.

I changed batteries and came back through and it said 11 feet at about the same place, so I think the circuits didn't get enough juice.

I took a photo of the GPS and headed home.
