Expedition

On the way home from a running event in Wilsonville, I ducked a little out of the way and drove up to the house where the lucky homeowners were failing to experience their Couch Potato Achievement.

Did the expedition succeed? Well, I've given myself quite a bit of latitude when the hashpoint falls on an in-town residential property. I went there, I took a picture of the house that the hashpoint is in. What am I going to do, knock on the door and ask if I can stand in the kitchen for a second? That would creep me out on either end of the transaction. I feel like in these situations, if I'm on the sidewalk outside the house I'm as "there" as one can be under existing social mores. So therefore, I declare victory.

If only they knew!
