Participants

Expedition

On a business/adventuring expedition, I woke up early in Bend and (after a quick stop for a bag of bagels) headed south on US 97 for a ways, and then southwest on well-paved Century Drive for another 14 miles or so. That got me to Forest Road 4258 and then immediately to 4258-100, which was really the first opportunity for the still new expedition vehicle to show its stuff in marginal-roads geohashing. I parked within a few hundred meters of the hashpoint, and from there it was just an easy (but cold!) dawn walk through the open forest of Central Oregon.

Achievements

  • My second successful expedition to the La Pine graticule (after a 12-year lapse).
  • My second successful expedition to Deschutes County (after a 5-month lapse).
