Location

On the bank of the snake river, just south of Ontario, OR.

Participants

Eldin

Expedition

When I saw that today's coordinates were in the very tiny bit of Oregon in this graticule, I had to try for this one. I called up a friend and invited him to come along. He agreed, so I stopped by his home to pick him up on my way out to the hash. It was a pleasant drive out to the vicinity of the hashpoint. However, when we were very nearly there, we found a bridge with a sign saying 'Private No Trespassing' It turns out the hashpoint was actually on the bank of a small island in the river. And unfortunately, this bridge was the only way to access it. Disappointed, we drove back in to Ontario and found a Chinese resturant where we had dinner before heading back for home.

Photos

The only bridge leading to the island which the hash was on the shore of.

Achievements

Eldin earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost reaching the (43, -116) geohash on 2013-10-16.
