The Portland metro area graticule is at 45 N, 122 W. It completely encloses the city of Portland and some surrounding areas. The graticule is almost entirely land, much of it open and undeveloped, making this one of the best areas for geohashing.

Planning and Coordination
- See the discussion page for plans
Many of the folks in the Portland, Oregon graticule hop over to the McMinnville, Oregon graticule for hashpoints there. The planning was happening here on the Portland page, but now with the User:AperfectBot picking up Category:Expedition planning pages, it makes sense to move the planning to the expedition page itself.

Participants
- Elegant Forkbomb lives in Portland
- Alexp If anyone from Salem ever needs a lift to any of the Saturday Meet-ups let me know, I'll see what I can do.
- Drache and NoTerminal will be hosting the first Saturday GeoHashing meetup for the Portland Graticule this week. Wherever it is, we'll be there with a chess board (or maybe two) and an arsenal of tech. If it's somewhere unreachable, we'll be as close as we can get. Look for a very dirty black VW Jetta or a silver Subaru Imprezza hatch-back with an over sized roof rack. There will be XKCD signs in the windows and our actual GPS coordinates on the dash if we're not at the specified ones. We'll also be on CB channel 36, family radio channel 13 with no codepage or codepage 0, and HAM radio frequency 146.52mhz, Callsign KC7KWX. Our CBs are car mounted so switch to ham or family when you're close to the location.
