Expedition

Michael5000 (talk) and Michael5000 (talk) drove north from Portland through alternating downpour and drizzle, but things cleared up around Scappoose and superfluous ice cream products were purchased from a drive-through restaurant. Continuing to St. Helens, we did a drive-by of the site on Germantown Road, resolving the only significant challenge of the expedition: parking. After that, it was a pleasant if slightly damp stroll up a hillside. The hashpoint was perhaps 100 meters in, just where meadow met the edge of the forest. We took pictures and generally felt victorious.
