Location

On 129th Street, off Division in SE Portland.

Participants

Michael5000

Expedition

I thought about several possible approaches to this hashpoint, but after consulting the weather decided on a transit-to-run sort of affair. I had a little bit of uninteresting fiasco getting a transit card, after which I rode Bus #15 out to a point about a mile and a half from the hashpoint, and started jogging through intermittent drizzle.

The point was on a residential street not far from an apartment building where I used to know some folks, although strangely I didn't notice that until I was back home looking at the pictures. Before I got there, and after I left, it occurred to me that it's not impossible other people would claim this hashpoint, and I might leave some kind of trace. While standing on the spot, though, that thought escaped me. I took some pictures and then ran another 5 1/2 miles until I ran out of steam and walked the rest of the way home.
