Location
Just off a road not far inland from the town of Nehalem.
Participants
Plans
I was already planning on heading out to the beach with the family for the day, so it didn't seem like too much of a stretch to head in a short distance to catch the hash. I figure the timing will be a little tricky because we are heading out with the in-laws, but I imagine that I'll leave all the family at a nearby beach and go find the hash on my own.
Expedition
Did end up leaving the family at the (rather chilly and windy) beach for an hour or so. I drove up from Rockaway Beach and inland from there to the small road where the hash was located. I ended up missing the pullout close to the hash, but I quickly realized and turned around to go back to the spot.
I got out and started walking around to try to find the exact hashpoint. I started down the steep bank with the ferns and the blackberry bushes when I realized that my GPS was kind of wigging out. I guess that I wasn't getting any much closer to the hash (as measured by distance to the point), despite the fact that I was heading in the direction it told me I should be going. My best guess is that my signal wasn't so strong in the fairly narrow, heavily forested valley.
I ended up getting under 10' to the hash, although the point was across the road from where it looked like the hash was on the satellite map. Oh well. I got my requisite pics and headed back to meet the family. Mission accomplished.
Tracklog
The track can be found here.

GPS coordinates
Fairly goofy grin
moss covered log somewhat near the hash point, found on my wanderings.
