Location

On an industrial parking lot in Aloha.

Participants

Plans

Jim notices how close it was, but APR beat him to telling the Portland folks. The only person who responded was M5k, who I think isn't even on the list!

Expedition

This was a splendidly placed hashpoint, located just a few miles off of my Monday workday route. Arriving at the location, I noted that the somewhat secluded parking lot belonged to a powerful international electronics firm, the massive castle of which was visible in the near distance. Signs suggested that I should not loiter. I drove a short distance into the parking lot, straddled the Geohashing Expedition Vehicle atop the hashpoint, and jumped out to take a picture and, well, pretend to check a tire. Making sure not to loiter, I jumped back in and drove on!

Expedition Success.

After work, Jim came by and found the spot as well, then went on to his class.

Photos

View across the beautiful beautiful parking lot from the hashpoint.

Achievements

Land Geohash
Maybe Almost Honorable cubicle hash for Jim (Again!)?
