Location

On Bachelor Blvd in Beaverton, Oregon, but it looks to be Ag land.

Participants

Jim is going to make a ploy at getting there

Plans

Print out a google map, program a GPS, try to convince the county GIS system to tell me ANYTHING about it.

Expedition

Turns out the property is over the county line, which is why Washington County wouldn't tell me anything about it.

I visited several houses on my way to the final location. Everyone was friendly, but the owner of the property wasn't interested in my visiting his backyard, so I went left and took some photos on my way home.

I also picked up some eggs from a local farm, and it was a nice trip.

More details after I'm finished with another project which may run until tomorrow night.

Photos

A view down the hill towards Mount Hood
