Location

Off of the John H. Beuter Road in Peavy Arboretum.

Participants

Frogman

Plans

I saw that this hash was pretty close to Corvallis, so I planned on doing it!

Expedition

I was surprised at the relatively easy ride up 99W, despite a couple of hills. Peavy Arboretum is an OSU-run demonstration forest on a hill surrounded by farms and streets that are named after being able to see Mt. Hood. It's a nice place! It was pretty busy, so I felt weird about tromping through the forest in an attempt to reach the hashpoint. I felt even more weird about the fact that the hashpoint was right off of a path, and my wanderings through thickets and heavy vegetation were unnecessary.

Information! I should have looked at the trail map before starting.
The trees are pretty here!
The road that would have taken me to the hashpoint if I had kept going.
Here it is again, after I had trekked through a lot of blackberry bushes.
This is the place!
From the hashpoint you could see a lot of thicket.
Grin of the goofy variety.
