Location

A Hillsboro townhouse near the Orenco Station MAX station

Participants

Jim

Plans

Stop by on my way home, then hop back on MAX to my car.

Expedition

I made it, with a bit of an adventure.

I managed to find my way to a Blue Line MAX train towards home and my car and sat on it until we got to Hillsboro. I hopped off and started for the hashpoint.

It was in a condo complex, and I was worried that they would forbid visitors, but the only signs up were ones that said they were part of Neighborhood watch and would immediately report any suspicious behaviour. Luckily for me, I was from the Internet, and I was geohashing, which we know isn't suspicious at all. (It isn't like we're some sort of weird group of people who wanders into shipping lanes on rafts wearing pirate outfits or some such.)

No one reported me, as I must have been doing a good job of wearing my disguise of someone on his way home from work, and I walked through the hashpoint and walked back to catch the train after the one I came in on.
