Location

Evergreen Parkway near Hillsboro Airport. In the middle of the right hand eastbound lane!

Participants

Jim

Plans

Go by on my way to Beaverton this afternoon.

Expedition

I set out for Beaverton in the midst of rush hour. It took me a while to get to Evergreen Parkway and then I headed east towards more traffic.

As I approached the hashpoint, the traffic cleared up, and I was able to go faster, and when I glanced at the GPS, it said 400 feet, then 200, then zero! And I was booking along at the speed limit, so I guess that gives me another "Speed Racer." No photos at all, due to traffic. I go through that area fairly often, so maybe I'll be able to grab a couple of photos for folks. In addition, I might even have a GPS track showing that I've been there before!

I headed up to Hwy 26 and continued on to Beaverton where I was fairly late, but not horribly so.

Achievements

Land Geohash
Speed racer
Deja vu?
