Location

An alleyway in downtown Hillsboro

Participants

Jim

Plans

Go by in the evening

Expedition

Well, the evening expedition didn't go well. I headed out towards the hashpoint, but a combination of internet failures, power failures, and nearby wildfires made me think that it wasn't wise to continue on in the expedition.

By the next day, power and the Internet were back, and I had things I had to go into work for, so I headed out, and swung by the hashpoint. It was in a narrow alley right up against backyard fences, so it was just as well that I didn't try to come by late at night. The GPS ticked down to 17 feet and I booked out of there before people started to ask why the Internet had sent this person!
