Plans
Michael5000 is thinking of driving to the hashpoint in the late morning and going for a long run on the north end of the Banks/Vernonia Trail. Maybe!
Jim is also eyeing this hashpoint after he's done with market. Jiml 14:13, 15 October 2011 (EDT)
Expedition
Michael5000
It's a bit of drive to Vernonia, but once there it was not an especially tricky hashpoint. Ground zero was behind a nondescript prefab office or light industrial building. When I arrived a little before eleven, there was no one about, so it was just a matter of following the GPS to a little gravel patch behind the building and leaving a message for anyone who might stumble along, or who might arrive with great purpose for that matter.
Afterwards, the Bear guarded the Geohashing Expedition Vehicle for a couple of hours while I ran on the Banks/Vernonia Trail, but when I got back it there was no sign that anyone else had visited the hashpoint.
