About
The hashpoint is located south of Hillsboro, Oregon. It is on farmland, and the owners don't sound receptive to a hashing expedition. It is south of Burkhalter, and north of Farmington Road.

Jim
On Saturday, Jim did an inital survey to see if he could figure out who owned the land we had to cross to get to the hashpoint. I talked to a couple of different folks, neither of which owned the land, but both of which thought we were unlikely to get permission.
On Sunday, Jhon, Jim and 3riador decided on Jenkins Estate, a local park (and nice house and banquet facility) to meet at. Jim arrived a little before 4, and found that the place closed at 4PM. He looped through to check for folks waiting, and then waited at the entry for folks to show up. 3riador arrived, but before the two of us could plan anything, like waiting for Jhon, we found someone stuck behind us trying to leave. We drove up the road a way to plan our strategy.
We decided to head to the real hashpoint to make one final attempt, since I had noticed one more possible landowner to ask. We found a more likely house, but no one was home. We then went to ask at their neighbor, where a Graduation party was going on, and they said we could walk out along their fence, so we tried that. We got out to the back edge of their property, were the crop changed to, I think, Austrian peas, and we had to give up. We think we had reached the land of the "Very unfriendly neighbor"(TM) and did not want to venture any further.
We told the GPS to mark the location, with 0.13 miles to go, and went back to our cars.
