I was thinking of going into Vancouver this AM for the 45,-121 hash and maybe a meetup before the grandchildren came out, but life intervened. Freecycle had some RR ties for me in Dee, OR, too good a deal to pass upBut LO, the The Dalles hash was in Odell and that was on the way. So I loaded the hash into the GPS & took off. No camera today. They were busy in the orchard and didn't want me wandering, so I only got to within about 500 ftBut I tried.

I'm making these flags from crepe paper. That biodegrades faster than survey flagging.


Location

Just off the railroad on the eastern edge of Cascade Locks.

Participants

Plans

I have a hike planed on the Oregon side today, but the Hash looks to be right in Cascade Locks. I think that I'll go on the way.

Expedition

Kydlt

A quick jump into the bushes by the tracks. It wasn't really the empty looking spot that was on the DOQQ. But it was only 20 ft in. I went at about 10 AM & left the marker, but I left the camera in the car. So I stopped on the way back through after a lovely hike up Eagle Creek to Loowit Falls.

It had been literally dozens of hours since I had gone geohashing, and this hashpoint appealed to me for a couple of reasons. For one thing, I think it's funny that it took me almost two years to get to The Dalles, Oregon, and now to hit it three times in nine days. Also, Mrs.5000 had a class for the evening, so why not take a short drive after work, catch a hashpoint, and take another step towards my barmy goal of exercising in all 36 Oregon counties?

Well. I drove out, parked, walked out the railbed and then into the brush, completely failed to notice Kydlt's markers from eight hours earlier -- in retrospect, I should have thought to look for them -- and then ran to the Bridge of the Gods and back, 5.41 miles if you happened to be curious. Not nearly such a nice hike as my colleague got, but Expedition success!! ...and I have now run in Hood River County.

Tracklog

A shot in the dark at leaving a tracklog as a csv-txt file didn't work. What form should the link here take ?
