Location

In the building with a UPS Shiping store, in Tigard

Participants

Jiml (talk)

Plans

Go by on my way home

Expedition

There was a lot of on-again, off-again with this hashpoint.

I saw that it was near by and looked accessible in the morning, but wasn't sure I'd get a chance to go by on my way home due to time.

However, I got out of the office with good timing, and hopped on the train west.

I got off at Beaverton Transit center, and switched to the 72 bus, which dropped me right across the street from the hashpoint.

I was hoping the hashpoint would be accessible from the front, but that wasn't quite to pass. I was maybe 60 feet away at the front of the store.

So I went in, and wandered to be back of the display area, and decided I had made it 30-35 feet closer and should be in range. But I can't prove that since there was no GPS signal inside the building, so all I can do is guess.

I then headed on towards home and a class. But to make things interesting, I took the WES commuter rail to get up to the MAX Blue line. So I got to take Bus, WES, and MAX Blue line for this expedition. If it had come first, I would have taken the MAX Red line from Portland to Beaverton!
