Location

Just off of Highway 26, twenty-five miles north of Warm Springs.

Participants

Michael5000

Expedition

The Expedition started with an airport dropoff at the unholy hour of 5 a.m., the reasoning being that if I had to be up at that time anyway I might as well take advantage of the empty roads and continue another scenic sixty miles in the same direction to pick up an accessible hashpoint in a new graticule. So that's what I did.

The hashpoint is a short ways up an embankment from a minor dirt road, perhaps 150 meters off the highway. The forest air smelled great in the cool of the morning.

Photos

The old road leading up to the hashpoint.

Achievements

New Graticule! First attempt and success in The Dalles, Oregon graticule.
Second ever successful expedition to The Dalles, Oregon graticule (by anyone).
New County! First attempt and success in Wasco County.
Personal record: Earliest Geohash -- I reached the hashpoint at 6:50 a.m.
Personal record: With 15 expeditions, July 2011 is my most active geohashing month. Eight successful expeditions makes it the second-best month ever in that category.

Michael5000 achieved level 5 of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement

by visiting coordinates in [[Portland, Oregon]] and 5 of the surrounding graticules.
