Jim: Go by at Hash o'clock

Expedition

Jim: Got pulled into something at work so it was evening by the time I got there.

Michael: I ducked out of work a little early for this one, as it gave me an excuse to do something I've often thought about: taking the MAX Blue Line out as far as it goes -- the end of the line is only two blocks from this hashpoint -- and riding my bike home. It worked great!

Seeing that Jim went, I wish I'd made a mark! I didn't realize that anyone else was still active in Portland.

The ride home was 26.6 miles, and was quite nice after the fast but long portion on the TV Highway. I went to bed happy, woke up with a sore throat, and by the afternoon had tested positive for COVID-19. I sincerely hope I did not breathe on anyone over the course of this expedition.

Michael: There was a lot of bicycling involved, but the achievements are about getting TO the hashpoints. I took public transport TO the hashpont. I rode my bike home. It could have qualified as an unintentional Tron Achievement, actually, but I didn't keep a tracklog.
