Location

In a residential neighborhood of Forest Grove

Participants

Jim

Plans

Go by on my way to work

Expedition

So, I was delighted to discover that the hashpoint actually looked accessible, and I was actually going out today, so I could go by. I probably at least doubled my commute time to work by going by the hashpoint, but I did get lunch on the way. (Lunch really wasn't very distinguished, so I learned something else new.)

I tried to follow my GPS directly without the use of maps, but it was getting rather odd, so I resorted to using Google Maps to figure out what was happening. I eventually found my way to the street, but discovered a median in the way. I eventually just parked on a side street and walked up to the hashpoint.

I took a few pictures, and continued on towards work.

Photos

Need to be uploaded - someday. I'm only a few years behind on this.
