By Beaverton Creek in Tualatin Hills Nature Park.

Participants

Expedition

On the map, this one looked like it would be too marshy to get to, but I've never been to the Tualatin Hills Nature Park and was curious about it. So I drove out and then went for a run that was partly in the Park, and also built in a stretch of the run I used to take back when I occasionally worked out in this area.

On the run, I saw that the creek bottom was not as marshy as it might have been, so I changed into a dry top and garden clogs back at the truck, and then followed trails to within a few hundred meters of the hashpoint. From there, I had to fight through a little bit of forest down to the floodplain, which still looked like it could be treacherous and boggy. But actually, I was pretty much able to walk on top of a layer of last year's dead grasses all the way to the hashpoint. It's always nice to finish an expedition with dry feet, especially in February.
