This was a drive-to hashpoint, but it was quite a drive.

Location

On Twickenham Road in Rural Wheeler County.

Participants

Expedition

We had decided to take a short holiday to wherever the hashpoints sent us, and it was this easy but remote point that brought us to the Ochoco Mountains. Once in the area, it was not difficult to drive down a beautiful rural road, past the occasional cow, until the GPS confirmed we were in the right spot.

Expedition Success.

Photos

A nice rock formation overlooking the hashpoint
Sunshine!
The truck enjoys a return to the dry half of Oregon
as does Michael5000
as does Mrs.5000
as does their trusty ursine hashscot.

Achievements

Second known successful expedition in the Prineville graticule.
A new graticule for both Michael and Mrs.!
