Location

Close to a side road off highway 2.

Participants

Thomcat

Expedition

I was returning from Leavenworth Oktoberfest, bound for an early evening Seahawks game. In between the two was this hashpoint. Near as I could tell, it was just a few meters from the road, and didn't seem to be on any property (Zillow).

Reaching the road, I drove to the nearest spot on the road. The sign I just passed was not encouraging, though the one lane bridge sure seemed to be okay. It was raining moderately at this point.

The side of the road dropped off quite a bit, and may have been a creek or stream. Beyond that was more damp undergrowth. I also passed more than one "private property" signs, usually next to a driveway. Finally the hash point distance from the edge of the road was 11m, not just a few. Close enough and yet not close enough, I call this one a miss.
