The drive down to Centralia was uneventful. I turned onto Route 6 and immediately went into a cell service black hole. GPS coverage turned out to be spotty in the hills, as well. Luckily I had remembered the name of the road to turn on, which turned out to be a gravel road about half an hour down Route 6. Once on the gravel, I relied on the distance calculation provided by the Android app. Unfortunately, I was thwarted twice... once by No Trespassing sign, and once by some extremely marshy land when I tried to go around. I was not prepared to ford any rivers, so I stopped as close as I could to the point, which was about 600 ft distant. I'm calling this one a failure, unless someone else wants to declare that I have the benefit of the doubt and 600 ft is "close enough."

Location

Just off Route 6, southwest of Centralia, WA.

Participants

Plans

The plan is to drive down to the point from Seattle in the morning, and then make a meetup in the Seattle graticule at 4 pm.

Expedition

The drive down to Centralia was uneventful. I turned onto Route 6 and immediately went into a cell service black hole. GPS coverage turned out to be spotty in the hills, as well. Luckily I had remembered the name of the road to turn on, which turned out to be a gravel road about half an hour down Route 6. Once on the gravel, I relied on the distance calculation provided by the Android app. Unfortunately, I was thwarted twice... once by No Trespassing sign, and once by some extremely marshy land when I tried to go around. I was not prepared to ford any rivers, so I stopped as close as I could to the point, which was about 600 ft distant. I'm calling this one a failure, unless someone else wants to declare that I have the benefit of the doubt and 600 ft is "close enough."
