2011-03-09 Good drizzley morning. I found myself in Hermiston this morning so I think I will go on a little trip down to 45.596227°, -119.537443°.
Expedition
Events found me in Hermiston with no real plan for the day. The internet to the rescue ! A short drive away was the spot, and in a virgin graticule. There might be a dearth of nerds in Eastern Oregon. Struggling with my typical lack of social skills, I knocked on the door of a lonely ranchhouse. Being greeted by a an older gentleman whom was wearing a hubcap on his beltbuckle I strugled to explain myself. He got tired of hearing me talk and pointed me in the direction that I wished to go. He didn't want his photo on the internet, but his mailbox was ok with it. Let's see if I can post this correctly.

The tumble weed missed me!
Looking down from closest public approach.
Up on the road, 443 feet away. Be brave, go to the ranchhouse.
Boy, did he think I was weird.
Miles of miles.
Always stop for historical markers if possible.
Through the haze. I think that it is the rock and snow of Mt. Hood, not clouds.
The new crop.
OK, I did have a tailwind.
