Location

At the side of a vacant lot in Beaverton.

Participants

Expedition 5000

Michael5000

Expedition two

Jim

Plans

My plan was, I was going to go on a run from the area where I was running errands for my parents, out to this hashpoint and back.

Jim's plan was to go by and visit the hashpoint as he was taking care of errands in the area.

Expedition

Expedition 5000

As it turned out, my parents had a lot more errands that needed done than I realized. So I just made a side trip to the hashpoint on one of them.

Expedition two

Not knowing about the other expedition, Jim stopped by and wandered around a bit to get close enough to the hashpoint. It's a bit tricky since almost all of the AA batteries for my GPS have pretty up given up the ghost for holding a charge. The GPS itself seems to need to be replaced as well - the firmware is miscalculating the date by several decades.

Photos

There was a rain squall while I was at the hashpoint. I think there was water on my selfie lens.
Across the street from the Northwest Fencing Center!
Driving my parents' truck makes me feel like a real badass.

Achievements

Michael5000 earned the Consecutive geohash achievement

by reaching hash points on 2 consecutive days starting on 2022-02-19.

Michael5000 and Jim earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (45, -122) geohash on 2022-02-20.

With four expeditions, this is my (Michael's) geohashingest February on record.
