Location

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

Participants

kydlt

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.

-Today's hash is in a county park, next to Hood River, in the town of Hood River, just South of the Columbia River, about an hour and 1/2 East of the Willamette River.  Anybody want to meet me there ?
