On the railroad tracks near Hauser Junction.
Participants
Expedition
We were traveling down the Oregon Coast with Ma5000, whose recent exploits prove that she is no stranger to geohashing. However, this one required a little more walking than she was up for, so she chilled out in the car while we took a seven or eight minute walk down the railroad track from the crossing at Hauser Junction.
Walking on a railroad line sometimes carries a frisson of danger, but since this rail line probably sees, what, a train a week? ...and since recent storms had left all manner of tree limbs across the tracks, so that a maintenance crew will clearly need to swing through before the next actual train does, we were about as likely to be struck by a locomotive on this expedition as we would be in our own living room. But it was still kind of fun to be on the tracks.
