The hashpoint is in one of the many tidal flats along the margins of Coos Bay. It would be underwater at high tide.

Location

In a tidal flat just off of East Bay Drive.

Participants

Expedition

Our second annual attempt to hash the Coos Bay graticule was a success! We had looked at the hashpoint before starting our Christmas trip, so we knew to bring heavy boots. Checking the tide table before setting out, this adventure turned out to require nothing more arduous than a half hour drive following by squelching out into thick tidal mud.

Photos

Approaching the hashpoint.
This is the place.
Team photo.

Achievements

Land Geohash

Michael5000 & Mrs.5000 earned the Graticule Unlocked Achievement

by being the first to reach any hashpoint in the (43, -124) graticule, here, on 2010-12-24.
