Location

Near a side street in Battle ground, Washington

Participants

Plans

Go by after going by the blood bank

Expedition

Well, we are still in shutdown here, so I'm not getting out much at all, but I had an appointment at the blood bank for today, and when I saw that this hashpoint was on the other side of that trip, I figured I'd try for it. (It was supposed to be 10 minutes on the other side.)

Getting there was pretty easy. Just take 3 major highways, and then a bunch of side streets - I let maps navigation handle that, especially since when I finally got to a point where it made sense to follow, my GPS' batteries had died and needed to be replaced during a stop.

It proved to be very close to the road such that I didn't even need to get out of the car, which was good from a virus-containing perspective, and because the area was fenced off by the county and marked as no-tresspassing.

I took some photos and headed for home, taking a slightly different route, part of which I hadn't taken in such a long time that I had forgotten some of the tricks.
