Participants

Expedition

Ten years, four months, and twenty-five days after I scampered out from a shopping center to the middle of Vancouver's 164th street (2011-09-14 45 -122), I returned to do it again. It was technically a different shopping center, although they are basically indistinguishable from the street. Oh, and 164th drifts to the west a little bit and becomes 162nd street by the time it gets to today's hashpoint, so that was another exciting difference.

Just like last time, drove up to the site at lunch break, crossing the Columbia River into Washington. After getting to the shopping center, to make it more of an "event," I bought some grapefruit juice for Mrs.5000. Then, after swerving a bit out of my lane on the way out in order to pass over the hashpoint a second time, I stopped at a gas station down the street. That gave me two thrills that we don't get in Oregon: I paid sales tax, and I pumped my own gasoline.

Photos

  • The shopping mall.

  • The hashpoint is on the second solid white line, between the camera and the white electrical box.
