Expedition

I was going to be in town, so I checked the recent and upcoming hashpoints to see if any looked promising. Not many did, except for this one, which was going to be close to where I was staying, so I figured I'd tag it to see if I could make it. I expected it to be another No Trespassing since it was in the driveway according to Google, but it looked like it might be close.

As it turned out, it seemed to be almost in the roadway, at least when I wandered by. I had been visiting with friends, and swung by on my way back. I took some photos, which I think I won't be able to pull out until I get back to Oregon, I suspect. (Of course, I haven't done a great job of pulling photos out of the camera of late, to be honest...)

The house with the hashpoint had a very interesting spiral staircase on the side of the house


Photos

As usual, in camera...
