Participants

Expedition

This was the first known attempt to hash the Pendleton graticule.

From La Grande, we drove on I-84 and Oregon State Highway 244 to a point about 3/4 of a mile from the hashpoint. However, after surveying the ridgeline from points on the highway and in a nearby campground, we had safety concerns about the steep slope down to the river that we would have to climb across, and were unsure whether or not a route would be feasible that did not cross fence lines. We decided to retreat.

Expedition Thwarted.
