"pedal to the metal, mom"

This is part 2 of my multihashing expedition, read about part 1 here.

Location

In the middle of Mall street in Southeast Portland. Conveniently near my mom's place of work. Now we can annoy people who live in the neighborhood by stopping in the middle of the street for a selfie, yay!

Participants

Hamblingreen
Both parents

Plans

Now that we've finished our hike to the top of the butte, we'll go back down after filling up on trail mix. We'll drive back down the logging road and head into town, stopping by my mom's work to surprise her with a geohash. I don't plan on telling her what we're doing, just where to drive. Once we get there I'll get her to hit the gas so we can achieve the Speed Racer achievement. Then we'll all head home after a long multihash filled day.

Expedition

Getting down from the butte was just as hard as going up, because I wore Vans I slipped once or twice on some pine needles. After we got in the truck and chugged another two bottles of water we drove back.down the logging road, past those beautiful vistas and back toward Portland. We stopped at a Subway to grab a bite to eat and I had the usual BLT. Finally we arrived at my mom's work around 3:30.

Since my mom was off at 4, we hung around and bothered her coworkers for a bit before heading to the hash. We decided that my mom would drive her car with me in the passenger seat, and we'd folow dad who would guide us to the hashpoint. Once dad flashed his hazards, that was my signal to get mom to go pedal to the metal and catch a picture of both the speedometer and the hashpoint. My mom didn't cooperate. She stopped the car in the middle of the road and demanded "Is this part of a geohashing thing?" The game was up. We snapped a Stupid Grin (TM) and started to drive away. Just as we were turning the corner, I begged my mom to let me get the Speed Racer achievement. She finally relented as we drove around the block. I snapped a picture of us going 20 on a residential road. So scanalous!

Distractions and Detours

That was the extent of our two part day long multihashing expedition. Unfortunately there were no distractions or detours on the way home from the second hash, we were all tired and wanted to grab pizza for dinner.

-Just a few feet of the Wilson River Highway in some trees, probably not on anyone's property but we'll see. I'm glad it fell in the Tillamook State Forest because that opens up plenty of opportunity for distractions and detours.

-I had the day off of school, and my dad had the day off of work so we decided to take a full day and have a geohashing and hiking party all day long. In this two-part multihash (!), the plan is to head down to southeast portland just a few blocks from my cousin's house to reach the Portland hashpoint. From there, my dad and I will set out to the Wilson River Highway in the middle of the Tillamook State Forest to reach the McMinneville hash. We'll hunt for mushrooms on a quick 2 mile hike and head back home. I got to print out two Crox posters this morning, and I can't wait to use them!

 == Expedition ==
-After eating a hardy breakfast of bacon-avacado toast, I printed off the Crox posters for the day. I checked over the "My Backpack" list I made on my profile, and we were off. As we drove through St. Johns toward Hwy 30, I realized I forgot the posters. Again. This is the SECOND TIME I forgot the posters I printed! I even brought the tape and nail to tack up the posters, but not the posters themselves. As we drove across the Saint Johns bridge I asked my dad "wait, where are we going?" Apperently he thought we were going to the Wilson River hash first, so that's the new plan. The drive over to the Tillamook State Forest is uneventful, we left at 10 and got there aronud 11:30 in the morning. After pulling over on the side of the road, I hopped out of the car giddy as I laid my eyes on the challenge before me. The hash is only 20 or so feet off the road, but I needed to trek through thorny blackberries to get the hash right on the dot. And so I did. I got scratched, and at one point I thought I had been scraped by stinging nettle. Despite this adversity, I made it to the hashpoint proud and possibly tresspassing. There was no sign or fence, but it was right next to someone's house, so you be the judge on that one.
+Getting down from the butte was just as hard as going up, because I wore Vans I slipped once or twice on some pine needles. After we got in the truck and chugged another two bottles of water we drove back.down the logging road, past those beautiful vistas and back toward Portland. We stopped at a Subway to grab a bite to eat and I had the usual BLT. Finally we arrived at my mom's work around 3:30.

 == Distractions and Detours ==
-Just a little down the highway, there was a logging road (Cedar Butter Rd) with some beautiful vistas that my dad and I decided we'd drive down. I got some beautiful pictures and my first logging road driving experience. I'm glad I remembered my license! It was a one lane gravel road with a cliff on one side and a steep incline on the other. The road had all manner of sharp turns and was challenging but fun to drive. After driving for what felt like forever, we reached a sign declaring that the trailhead we sought was 5.7 miles to the left. We decided to keep going straight because that didn't seem right. Only after another 15 minutes of driving did we turn around and try that road we passed. I'm glad we did, because just around the corner was the trailhead we passed. After parking the truck and grabbing the trail mix, we headed off down the trail.
+That was the extent of our two part day long multihashing expedition. Unfortunately there were no distractions or detours on the way home from the second hash, we were all tired and wanted to grab pizza for dinner.
-I was not mentally prepared for this hike. After we had concluded our expedition, I realized we had climbed 2600 feet, almost the height of the world's tallest building. The incline was extreme, and since I wore some Vans I had to be careful not to slip. On the way up, we noticed someone cut a "Z" into a few stumps, and my dad's side of the family has a cattle brand depicted as a Z with a cross on the tail. We took a picture of that to send to my grandpa. Theview at the top was all worth it. The mountains stretched as far as I could see, and even with the wildfire smoke they were really beautiful. It was at this point as the sun was beating down on me that I realized I needed to add sunscreen to my backpack. We took binoculars and could see burnt stumps on a neighboring butte. There were some benches at the top that we could rest on and recover from our adventure before heading back down the trail.
