Location

A house in a development across Hwy 26 from BPA's Keeler substation.

Hillsboro, near Hwy 26 and Cornelius Pass Road.

Participants

Jiml

Plans

Go by at some point today. Hashpoint appears to be in the house.

Expedition

I was heading into Portland, and didn't manage to go by in the morning before everything started to happen. So in the evening, on my way home from visting with folks, I wandered by to see how close I could get. It was maybe 70 feet when I drove by in the street, so I was hopeful that I might not need to completely give up.

I parked on the street and walked down towards the hashpoint. I stepped onto the driveway as if I was going to go ask at the front door, and found myself in range, so I turned around and left the homeowner undisturbed, which was a good thing at a late hour.

Achievements

Jim earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (45, -122) geohash on 2012-05-17.
