Location
Beaverton, Oregon, on a side street: near Walker Road, on SW 122nd road. Close to the road, though.
Participants
Plans
I printed out the Google Maps page, but I knew the area, and had geohashed there before, so it wasn't really necessary. Programming the GPS, however, was necessary.
Expedition
I finished up some tasks at work, a little later than I wanted, as I needed to finish some additional things for home before I left.
I went off towards the hashpoint, stopping to visit with an ATM on the way. However, I had to dodge around a bit, as there is a 3 day airshow going on at our local airport, so there is a fair bit of traffic. (Folks heading to tomorrow's hashpoint in North Plains, Oregon, should be careful of Airshow traffic!)
On my way there, I glanced at the GPS and got to watch it tick down the miles. Soon I hit Cedar Hills Blvd, and headed towards side streets. Almost as soon as I turned onto 122nd, the GPS reported the hashpoint off to my left, so I parked, and proceeded by foot. It got down to 20 feet at the end of the driveway, so I put my ambassador smile on and headed up the driveway to ask for permission. I ran the doorbell, but no one answered. (There were no cars in the driveway, in contrast to other houses in the neighborhood.)
I was about to give up when I looked more closely at the GPS on my way back to the street. It reported only 12 feet to the hashpoint, but when I checked, the accuracy was floating several feet higher, so I'm going to declare the haspoint reached.
I took a couple of pictures and went home.
