On a logged hillside in northern Benton County.

Plans

I contacted my friends but they all "had work" or were "out of town". Typical excuses! Looks like this is a solo expedition.

Expedition

I'm still getting used to driving manual transmission, so I drove carefully to the point. After turning at Adair Village, the road continued on and became gravel. There were a bunch of turn-offs and I had trouble figuring out which one to use, but eventually I found the right one. There was a sign warning of logging ahead, and forbidding parking, so I parked a little way down the road.

I walked up the logging road. It was a nice day! The walk was about a kilometer in the half, so definitely pretty easy. The hashpoint was in an already logged area. I could hear machinery in the background, presumably logging elsewhere.
