Plans
kydlt
I might have to go to this one. I'm heading to Portland anyway.
Expedition
I just got back home (17:44) from an interesting hash trip. I will write it up later.
Photos
I had terrible satellite geometry. I was definitely still on the road, but the GPS said that I was in the river.
- 2012-01-10-45 -122 12 track all over.jpg
As this track capture shows. For a long time it wouldn't even acquire. Only 1 sat was more than 30 degrees above the horizon.
So first I went to the field below the cliffs. I thought the hash would be down here.
But when I was below the tracks & below the cliff, the GPS was showing me up the hill, above the road.
I got to the base of the cliff, the GPS was showing the hash more north, above the cliff.
The numbers were better, the GPS was claiming better accuracy, but.....
Oh well. I had this view. I believe that to be Multnomah Falls, but I can't see the footpath bridge.
So I climbed back up to the RR tracks.
But still below the road.
And went up here to arrive to the top of the cliff.
Now that I was here, the GPS said that I should be back down below.
- 2012-01-10-45 -122 13 but still not right.jpg
So here is a close up of my track, layed over a USGS topo, using DeLorme Topo USA. The hash was, best that I could tell, on the cliff. But the cliff is between the tracks and the river.
