Expedition

I had a shift split between two locations today, and during the drive in between I went a little -- well, a lot -- out of my way in order to reach the hashpoint. Unusually for me, I didn't worry too much about the route and just let the GPS guide me in. The point was underneath a tree, just off the sidewalk. It was across the street from the playing fields of Fort Vancouver High School. There wasn't much exciting going on. The building that Google Maps marks as a pet crematorium seems to be a trophy store really, but it's not like I checked too carefully.

A successful Wednesday Expedition, after four previous failures, finally breaks the Curse of Wednesday.

Photos

The Hashpoint is under yon tree.
