Location

In the parking lot of the Beaverton Home Depot

Participants

Jim

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.
