Location

On a steep hillside just off of Highway 14 near Skamania, Washington.

Participants

Expedition 2

Plans

Expedition

This expedition was pretty uneventful. After stopping for a bite at Taco Bell, we headed over into Washington and down the gorge. There was a truck that certainly should have pulled over on Highway 14 that slowed us down quite a bit, but we ended up making it to the turn-off. The hashpoint itself was a bit down the hill, but we easily got within GPS margin-of-error, so I called it a win.

We took the scenic drive up the gorge instead of heading back across 205 on our way home. It turns out that the Bridge of the Gods is a toll bridge. If I had known, I might not have taken that route, but it was a pretty drive.
