Location

On Briedwell Road in the farmland northwest of Amity.

Participants

Expedition

The little village of Amity is in agricultural country about an hour's drive southwest of Portland. It's cute. There's a nice park at the southwest edge, and I parked there and ran about two miles to the hashpoint, which was placed with convenient road access. It was unfortunately about the least scenic specific place in the area, but that's where the hashpoint was so that's where I took my pictures. Then, I continued down Briedwell Road to the north, then headed back east to catch the fetchingly named Hook and Eye Road, which let me loop back towards the starting point. It was a very scenic run through orchards and fields, and at 8.13 broke my distance record for Yamhill County. It was also my first expedition to the McMinnville graticule portion of Yamhill County.

Tracklog

Not technically a "Tracklog," but fitting the bill:

The route that I ran. The hashpoint is on the southwest side of the loop.
