Location

According to Google Maps, the location is "9306-9678 Hwy 7A, Port Moody, BC V3H, Canada" a mere 7km from my place. I need to get to work, but I will be swinging by there on the way home tonight, roughly 7PM local time. Without a GPS unit I can not get more specific than using this information, it looks like the coordinates are just a short way off the road and the satellite view does not show anything that would stop a better-equipped hasher from reaching the point.

Plans

Cut out of work around 6 and head up that way. If not for the fact that I live on a cul-de-sac I would qualify for the Tron ribbon. I'll have to look at the details for that one when I get back, I'm going to be late already. I will go 700m west from N Road which should put me more or less due north of the target and walk a couple minutes south into the woods I suppose. Dunno. --MistStlkr 14:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Ugh, I was hoping for a Burnaby Mountain Hash for a very long time, but not for that section :( I'm positive that google maps has labelled "North Rd" in error: that is a private road inside a petro refinery station that is no accessible to the public. The closest approach would be to park on the shoulder of Barnett Hwy (there is a place you can do that there) and bushwhack straight south and uphill to the point; you will need to be travelling on the east bound lane to get at that wide shoulder. Unfortunately, underbrush is very thick until you are a decent ways into the forest. There are no maintained trails in that section of the mountain; the nearest one is 400 or 500m to the east. -Yangman 16:00, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
