Location

A vacant lot in a stalled Happy Valley subdivision.

Participants

Expedition

Michael5000

I zipped down on my lunch break to stand on one of many vacant lots, occasionally interspersed with large and oddly Italianate modern homes, and caught a nice view of the valley below.

Then, back to work!

Jim

Later on, after work, Jim headed out over Portland to attempt to reach the hashpoint as well. He took Hwy 26 in not-very-bad traffic, then slid down I-205, turning at Sunnyside Road. He found the not-very-complete subdivision, then had to ignore some of Google's directions as it seemed to be looking at something different than I.

I got to a cul-de-sac and walked onto the dirt of the undeveloped lot. I took some pictures of the lights of Portland and headed home, going the other way around the circle. I suppose I could have tried to make a Tron out of it, but I think it would have been hard.

Photos

Jim has a couple to upload once they get out of the camera
