Location

On the side of U.S. 26, between Rhododendron and Government Camp.

Participants

Michael50000

Expedition

Having taken a pass on the chance to wander through a car lot in Gladstone yesterday, I thought I would probably take a pass on the chance to drive for an hour to stand on the side of a highway, too. But as the workday wore on, the idea of a drive in the country started to sound pretty good.

It was a clear spring day, and there were lots of great views of Mount Hood on the way out. A generous pull-out across the road from the hashpoint made it pretty easy to park safely. I crossed the highway, stood on the hashpoint, looked around a bit, and then went home.

Photos

Parking Mrs.5000's car by the roadside.
Somebody drives past the hashpoint.
I made it!
I celebrate another triumph.
