Location

The runway area of Portland International Airport

Participants

Jim

Plans

Well, my original plan was to ignore it. It clearly wasn't going to be accessible and I didn't want to spend the time and gas to get there. I was going to send a funny note to the geohashers mailing list, but didn't get around to it.

Expedition

Later on in the day, I realized that I was going to be near to the airport in the evening.

I went off to meet with friends in the evening, and after we sat around for a while we all headed home. I went to grab some late dinner at a nearby pub, and then headed the 3 miles to the airport. Needless to say, I didn't even get close. I tried from the side of the airport, but the Air National Guard base blocked access.

However, I'm pleased to report that I'm not having to post this report from Gitmo and DHS doesn't have custody of me, so things went okay. The fact that I didn't try to breach security probably helped. In fact, I completely avoided a Police Geohash, though I did encounter the Hillsboro Police Department mobile police station on my way home. (It was just driving by.)
