Michael5000's Expedition #135

Location

The middle of nowhere, probably on the Rukio Creek Ranch.

Participants

Michael5000 (talk)

Plans

Drive in from the northeast and take a sturdy-looking gravel road to the hashpoint.

Expedition

You never want to see a "Dead End: 4 miles ahead" sign when you are still six miles out. The expedition was ultimately thwarted due to the understandable but regrettable choice of the Rukio Creek Ranch to disallow public access to their vast tracts of Central Oregon land, as expressed forcefully in a variety of signage.

Photos

South from Pendleton and Pilot Rock...
through Long Creek...
and downtown Monument...
to the road to the hashpoint. Uh oh.
Still, there was an inviting bridge to be crossed...
Nope, they were serious about the dead end.

Achievements

Michael5000 (talk) earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost (3 or 4 miles) reaching the (44, -119) geohash on 2013-08-09.
