Plans

The original plan was to head south to Salem and 2023-08-19 44 -122. I made a snap decision in the driveway, though, and pointed the prow northward along US 30.

Expedition

I turned off the highway at the little Deer Island community and then quickly turned left again to start up exactly the kind of rough gravel road the expedition was made for! And soon reached a gate. So, for the first of three times this day, I took out the bicycle -- also good on rough roads -- and continued uphill for about a half mile.

The hashpoint was on the crest of a steep hill of fairly young forest, all of it thicketed in pretty heavily with blackberries and other ground vegetation. I all but circled it on the available roads, never more than a couple hundred meters away, but couldn't find any way to get off the road into the forest. Eventually I surrendered, enjoyed the downhill glide back to the truck, and continued towards 2023-08-19 45 -123.
