Photo of a photo.

Location

Odell, OR.

Participants

Kydlt

Plans

Not much of a plan, I just ended up here.

Expedition

Kydlt

I was thinking of going into Vancouver this AM for the 45,-121 hash and maybe a meetup before the grandchildren came out, but life intervened. Freecycle had some RR ties for me in Dee, OR, too good a deal to pass up. But LO, the The Dalles hash was in Odell and that was on the way. So I loaded the hash into the GPS & took off. No camera today. They were busy in the orchard and didn't want me wandering, so I only got to within about 500 ft. But I tried.

When I got home I put the trail on the laptop, and here's a screen capture.

Kind of a lame effort, but an effort all the same.

-A quick jump into the bushes by the tracks. It wasn't really the empty looking spot that was on the DOQQ. But it was only 20 ft in. I went at about 10 AM & left the marker, but I left the camera in the car.  So I stopped on the way back through after a lovely hike up Eagle Creek to Loowit Falls.

-It had been literally dozens of hours since I had gone geohashing, and this hashpoint appealed to me for a couple of reasons.  For one thing, I think it's funny that it took me almost two years to get to [[The Dalles, Oregon]], and now to hit it three times in nine days.  Also, [[User:Mrs.5000|Mrs.5000]] had a class for the evening, so why not take a short drive after work, catch a hashpoint, and take another step towards my barmy goal of exercising in all 36 Oregon counties?
-Well.  I drove out, parked, walked out the railbed and then into the brush, completely failed to notice Kydlt's markers from eight hours earlier -- in retrospect, I should have thought to look for them -- and then ran to the Bridge of the Gods and back, 5.41 miles if you happened to be curious.  Not nearly such a nice hike as my colleague got, but Expedition success!! ...and I have now run in Hood River County.
