Location
Near the intersection of Blalock Canyon Road and Cedar Springs Lane.
Participants
Expedition
Earlier this year, Michael5000 ran into a number of challenges trying to reach a hashpoint on the way home from Baker City. This time, things went a little smoother.
Roughly halfway home, we took the Arlington exit, went south 8 or 9 miles, then turned west on the road that goes past the sprawling landfill operation. We passed within a few meters of 2022-07-08 45 -120, and not much further from 2019-06-05 45 -120, but continued a little further this time. Where Blalock Canyon Road and Cedar Springs Lane meet there's a bit of a pad that we could park at, and from there it was just a couple of hundred meters to the hashpoint. The most remarkable nearby feature was a bright blue thing, roughly the size and shape of a barrel, that had been extensively used for target practice. The scenery in general was grand -- I'm used to this part of the world being golden-yellow in its extensive dry season, but it turns out that it's kind of a moss green in winter.
Afterwards, we made it home!
