Planning

When Jim noticed that hashpoint was pretty near by, he put a note onto the Portland, Oregon talk page. I also checked the Washington County Taxlot information, and found that area was 3 tax lots, all zoned "Exclusive Farm Use", with one of them having a hay shed, which seemed the most likely owner.

No one responded, so I suspect everyone was busy. I printed out a Google Maps page for directions, and the GPS coordinates, and set out after work, leaving my warm, but not overheated computer room behind.

  • [User:Jiml|Jim]

Expedition

Jim drove there, burning up liquified velociraptors.

He found fields of oats and red clover.

The house he was heading for was under construction, and no one was there. I asked a neighbor, and she said I should ask in that house, and indicated that maybe the wife was in the barn. But no one answered when I knocked at the barn, so I gave up at that house.

I was about to ask at another house when my pager went off. The computer room, which was running with limited airconditioning already, had blown a circuit breaker and required my attention, and there is no WiFi in the Rural parts of North Plains. (But there is at the Library!)

Mission Thwarted, mostly by no access.
