Location
Near I-205 and Marine Drive Blvd in Portland
Participants
- Michael5000 and Mrs.5000
Plans
This location looks like it is on the street side of a fence adjacent to Marine Blvd, so it should be pretty easy to access.
Expedition
The 5000's
- Michael & Mrs.5000 rode a 21.1 mile bicycle loop that included the lovely airport/Columbia river bike trail and the less lovely northern few miles of the I-205 bike trail on their way to their first ever non-motorized geohash expedition. At 21.1 miles, it was the longest ride of the year so far for both 5000s.

Michael5000 & Mrs.5000 earned the Bicycle geohash achievement

Note: The site is a little overgrown with tall grasses and requires some very minor bushwhacking.
Jim
Jim made it as well, but it was somewhat of a challenge due to bridge construction. He gave up on driving very close to the hashpoint and walked through the traffic.
He also got a Police Geohash out of it, indirectly, and saw what must have been an ice cream truck escaped from over an ocean.
More details after dinner.
