Location
Just across from Century High school - Southern part of Hillsboro, near TV Highway
Participants
- Tim F.
- Jim
Plans
- I will be down at the goodwill outlet around 4~ about 900m away, if others are coming Ill head up and use the high school parking lot just across from the point, hence I suggested meeting up at the outlet first on the map. Tim F.
- Sounds like you are pretty certain to go. Shall we start an expedition page? 2009-07-13_45_-122 - Jim
- I'm interested in coming by, but I'll probably not be able to sneak out of work before 5. Jiml 18:25, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Drove by it earlier on my way to get lunch, looks like its just 2 feet behind a stone wall in someones back yard, but the sidewalk is just the other side. Tim F.
I'll be outside the goodwill at 4 to see if anyone else is going to want to go up to the point, otherwise I will just drive past later. Tim F.
Expedition
Jim's trip
Contrary to my fears, my GPS seemed to think the hashpoint was in the bark dust between the street and rock wall. However, my accuracy was about 14 feet, so your milage may vary.
I put a marker in the bark dust, and took some picture, and then headed home, figuring I'd try a couple of geocaching points on the way. The first one, at a Taco Bell, I think, was a unsuccessful. The second one was at a nearby wildlife preserve, Jackson Bottom, which is a part of the Tualatin River watershed.
The area is a stopover for lots of migratory waterfowl on their way from the south, where no-one seems to geohash, to the north, where a bunch of folks do completely insane things, but people worldwide read their stories!
I had no luck at that cache site either. Maybe I need to try it with someone who has luck with it.
I've got photos, some of which are better than others, and more text, but I need to make dinner now.
