Location

Next to McKinley school near downtown Hillsboro

Participants

Jim

Plans

Go by after work

Expedition

After I was done in the evening, I picked up my car at the train station and headed for the hashpoint. I'd had some time on the train to program the GPS, so that was set to go. However, I hadn't printed up quite as much map as would be useful, so I had a bit of a challenge getting my way towards the hashpoint without hitting a dead-end street.

Eventually, I found the right way and pulled in next to the school yard. 268 feet to go!

Access was easy, it being an unfenced school yard. I walked across the grass and took a couple of pictures of the GPS in the dark, but didn't bother trying to take any other pictures.
