Participants

Expedition

Having taken in 2022-07-08 45 -120 and 2022-07-08 44 -120 on what was by now an admittedly rather meandering route home from Pendleton, we continued west on US 26 across the Ochoco Mountains, through the tire-factory town of Prineville -- maybe we should have stopped? -- and onward to Madras, Oregon. Madras's J Street turns into Belmont Lane, which we drove out west of town through a charming high-desert agricultural landscape, down into a canyon and back out, and then to Elbe Road, which was... a dirt track. We parked the car next to a solar field -- I like to call them "sunshine farms" -- and walked half a mile through dusty heat and sagebrush to the hashpoint.

We were pretty thirsty by then, so we went to a large grocery store back in Madras, where roughly four employees were trying to keep up with the needs of approximately 100,000 customers. After surveying the scene, we went across the street to a little convenience store and bought coffee and water in what seemed in comparison like the hush of an abandoned cathedral.

So fortified, we continued north towards 2022-07-08 45 -121. We had no idea what peril awaited us, but I suppose that's always true, the human experience of time being what it is.
