Location

On 162nd Avenue in suburban Vancouver.

Expedition

Ten years, four months, and twenty-five days after I scampered out from a shopping center to the middle of Vancouver's 164th street (2011-09-14 45 -122), I returned to do it again. It was technically a different shopping center, although they are basically indistinguishable from the street. Oh, and 164th drifts to the west a little bit and becomes 162nd street by the time it gets to today's hashpoint, so that was another exciting difference.

Just like last time, I took a drive up at lunch break, crossing the Columbia River into Washington. After getting to the shopping center, to make it more of an "event," I bought some grapefruit juice for Mrs.5000, and then stopped at a gas station down the street. That gave me two thrills that we don't get in Oregon: I paid sales tax, and I pumped my own gasoline.
