Location

In the roadway leading to a farm near McMinnville, Oregon

Participants

Jim

Plans

Eat Thanksgiving Dinner. Snooze a bit. Head to the hashpoint.

Expedition

The route was fairly straightforward, except that Google seemed to feel that taking Hwy 219 over the mountain made sense, but then staying on Hwy 99W to get to the hashpoint didn't.

It sent me though a lot of backroads, leaving me lost and bewildered.

I eventually made it to the little spur road that leads to the hashpoint. I stopped my car and walked over to it. It was dark, so I decided to forgo taking any pictures.
