Location

A roadway near 99E between Milwaukie and Gladstone.

Participants

Jim

Plans

Looks accessible, and I'll be in Portland at the bloodbank on Sunday, so I'll be somewhat nearby.... Kydlt might make it in the evening, I won't be in Portland until later.

Expedition

5000

We picked up Niece #2 at approximately 0945 hours and proceeded southward via McLaughlin Blvd and Highway 99E to a residential area between Milwaukie and Gladstone. The hashpoint was within an arm's length of the sidewalk, on a landscaped slope at the periphery of an apartment or assisted living complex. We were all essentially there; the Bear (being our trusty hashscot, of course) was able to be thoroughly there, if you follow me.

We planted a flag and left a postcard for other geohashers or random passers-by, and then proceeded to the Goodwill Bins so that N#2 could buy a cheap cheap couch.

Expedition Success!

Photos
