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 Seattle 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."

Photos

  • Me grinning, as close to the point as I could get. My phone had lost GPS lock in this spot, which was slightly over 600 ft from the point.

  • All in all, it was a rather nice walk in the woods.
