Expedition

It was a sunny Autumn day, and why not? I drove down to the Marion County town of Aumsville, then rode my bike west to Turner, south and then east to Stayton, and then a very short hop north to Sublimity, the small town where the hashpoint was.

From looking at online imagery, I knew what I was looking for -- the hashpoint was at or near a little utility enclosure at the corner of a memory care facility. As I rode into the complex, I saw the place I was looking for immediately, rode right up to it, and got out my phone to make sure I was exactly in the right place. But, oddly, I wasn't in the right place. It showed the hashpoint as being over to the northeast, which was weird because there weren't any buildings to the northeast of the size I was looking for. Confused, I rode around the streets and parking lots for a while, trying to figure out what was up.

What was up was, the buildings shown online have recently been torn down to make way for a smoothly graded construction pad. At the edge of the extensive cleared space, the hashpoint was clearly and cheerfully marked with orange pylons -- but I'm 99.9% sure that this was random construction debris, and not landmarks left by earlier geohashers.

And then of course I rode the bicycle back to Aumsville, drove the vehicle back to Portland, and here I am taking care of the paperwork!
