Location

On a field in Trojan Park, just off of U.S. Highway 30 in the Oregon corner of the graticule.

Plans

I saw this one in the morning, and it was attractive because it fell in the little bit of Oregon in the southwest of the Mt. St. Helens graticule. Also, it seemed like it would be fun to relax with a drive after interviewing for a new position at work. I figured I'd also go for the Formal Wear achievement, although at a minimal standard as I don't work in a very formal industry.

Expedition

I crossed into Washington on I-205, drove up to Longview on I-5, then crossed the Columbia back into Oregon and started south on U.S. 30. Trojan Park is the former location of the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant, which always seems a little alarming, but it's quiet and peaceful and you can watch people fish in the old cooling ponds. The hashpoint itself was on a large playing field where a bunch of high school kids were playing Ultimate. It was sunny and cool, and lovely, but there was no particular reason to stick around and I was hungry, so I started back south.
