Location

Just north of the Marine Drive multi-use trail, near the airport.

Participants

Plans

Frogman texted Michael5000 "Geohashing Sunday?" and Michael5000 replied "Looks that way!"

Expedition

Frogman and Higgs

Due to track upgrades, the MAX was out between 7th Avenue and Gateway Transit Center with shuttle bus service between the two. The shuttle bus was a bit slow and meandering, as the intermediate stations' location in the I-84 right-of-way places the station entrances out of the way of normal traffic. At Gateway, one of the customer service agents came and chatted with us about the ongoing construction, specifically pointing out the cool tie-placing machine. They seem to be coming along nicely!

After a bit we caught the Red Line up to Mt. Hood Avenue MAX station, giving us the prestigious honor of being the only people in history to use Mt. Hood Avenue MAX station. Michael was there, having arrived on bicycle. We walked along some roads to get to the rather nice multi-use path, which sits between Marine Drive and the Columbia River. The proximity to the airport meant we got some nice (if loud) views of airplanes taking off.

The hashpoint itself is just north of the path. We snapped some pics and then parted ways.

It was pretty much like they said. It was the first viable hashpoint in Portland in about 6 million years; hopefully, the first of a bountiful spring glut. Riding from home to the not-bustling Mt. Hood Avenue station, and then from the hashpoint around the west end of the airport, was an 18.8 mile ride, so that was pretty good.

This was the third hashpoint I've biked to on the Columbia River Trail, less then 100 meters from 2011-02-26 45 -122 although considerably warmer. Another 1.9 miles to the east, there was 2010-07-17 45 -122. Plus, not far from there, there was 2011-06-17 45 -122, a hashpoint on Marine Drive that I drove over in my old truck.
