Location

In the Beaverton Bed, Bath, and Beyond pillow section on Mouseover day!

Participants

Plans

Go by after the Farmer's Market

Expedition

I found my way there after the market. I started outside first, hoping it might be close, and so that I could get a distance to the back of the store in case I had to go inside where I wasn't expecting GPS reception.

I walked up to the wall, and it said.... 31 feet!

Too far away, I fear So I went inside. (I needed something from the store anyway.)

I finally found the emergency exit door I'd seen from the outside, and then looked in the correct direction. I noticed I was getting some GPS signal, but it was acting wierd. So, I counted 31 paces from the back of the store and went to the wall.

The GPS still wasn't happy. I switched from distance mode to coordinate mode, and did the GPS dance but never got right on it. However, I went all along inside of the wall that I had hit 31 feet when outside, so I did get close enough.

I made my purchase and headed for home, checking on the way if anyone else had interest in Mouseover Day, but there were no responses.
