The hashpoint is somwhat near the Farmer's market, so I'll head to the hashpoint after Market. (a week late...)
Expedition
This retrohash followed the hashing of 2011-08-20 45 -122 in Garden Home.
I headed off to this hashpoint, thinking it would be pretty quick.
However, Hwy 99W is never very quick. I finally made it to the other side of Newberg, and after missing the correct turnoff, turned around at a Winery.
I headed up a steep and winding road, and eventually hit what I thought was the correct driveway. I parted on the side of the gravel road, and headed up to ask permission to cross into the, errr, heavy woods.
Since I was on my way, I proceeded to the door to ask permission, but I wasn't sure I actually wanted it. No one was home, much to my relief, so I headed home. I got some very pretty pictures of the area, as well as a snow-peaked (piqued?) Mt Hood.
As I came around the next curve, I realized that the next house might have better access to the hashpoint. I pulled into the gravel area behind the bulldozer. The house appeared to be under construction. There was a dog barking in the house, but I couldn't get to the main front door, and didn't get an answer at the side door.
I wasn't interested in going into the necessary woods from this side either, so Mother Nature won and I headed home.
