Plans

kydlt

I'm heading into Portland today, and the hash is in an undeveloped lot just South of IKEA. See ya there, maybe.

I plan to stop in at about 13:00, will look for Michael5000's mark. kydlt

Expedition

Michael5000

I took a quick sidetrip off the freeway and approached the hashpoint from Airport Way. After being blocked by a hotel fence and the MAX line, I parked in a dodgy fashion on Mt. St. Helens Avenue and tried to look official as I went across the mown vacant field to the hashpoint. I placed evidence of my passing in a nearby weed.

Kate

Michael5000 jokingly suggested to Kate, a civilian in this business, that it would be a hoot if she were to visit the hashpoint. To his surprise, she did. Results: "I'm calling this one 'close enough'. Discovered some key ingredients were missing from this venture -- a GPS that lets you put in the EXACT coordinates and closed toe shoes. Ouch."

Michael5000 earned the Puppet Master Geohash achievement

by manipulating Kate to reach the (45, -122) geohash on 2011-09-01.

kydlt

I stopped in on my way to the trainstation. Was short of time so I and the lovely other Kate rushed over and back out. She made some comment about no tevas next time. Took photo of Michael5000's artifact, left one of my own.

Photos

Kate gets "close enough."
Those numbers drift around some.
Kentucky Kate also thought sandals were the wrong choice.
It was either this or a photo of the IKEA sign.
