Location

West of the Urban Growth Boundary, near Beaverton, Oregon.

Participants

Jim

Planning

Well, I looked a Google Maps for a while and printed out a map or two. It being winter in the Pacific Northwest, it was well past dark when I left work for the hashpoint.

Expedition

I found my way through the somewhat rural parts of Washington County, and found the street address, but gave up before I found the hash point.

I just noticed that the Peeron map to the right appears wrong, as the hashpoint really was west of Portland!

Achievements

Jim earned the Prize poultry Consolation Prize

by chickening out on the (45, -122) geohash on 2009-01-19.

Jim earned the Two to the N achievement

by attempting to reach 2⁰ hashpoints on 2009-01-19 45 -122 and is promoted to Level 0 (Expeditions).
