Location

Tucker County Park, South of the town of Hood River.

Participants

Plans

Going by myself. I plan to be there 1200 or 1300 & stay a little while.


Expedition

I had a nice drive, and it WAS sunny in Hood River. But Google lied, the hash was in or just across the Hood River. My GPS calculated it as 30 m away from me. It was private property on the other side, and the river was too fast, high and cold to wade today.

So a near miss, defeated again by the Northwest's wonderful, plentiful water. But I checked out a nice county park and bought some atlatal darts at Good Karma.

Tracklog

I have the log, now to figure out how to link to it.

Photos

  • Rolling into Hood River.

  • about 4 mi to Tucker Park.

  • The hash was just at the river's curve, but on the other side.

  • Here is the TOPO USA imagery overlayed with my track. I find that the Google Map imagery is often about 100 ft off, compared to my GPS 'on the ground' experience. Does anyone else think this ?

  • I was above the trees on a cliff about 30 m. away.

  • And about 10 m. straight down.

  • But I got to check out a nice little park to take the children camping to this summer.

  • I passed the airport coming and going.

  • But the sailplane's wings were off. The sign is the plane's road case.

  • This is a GREAT museum!

  • And I always stop in here to get great stuff.

  • No relation or affiliation. Other than he holds stuff for me when he thinks I need it.

Achievements

  • MNB??
