Location

In the forest near the Columbia

Participants

Jiml (talk)

Plans

Go by in the evening after work

Expedition

Some days the algorithm favors us, and some days it doesn't.

Today didn't seem to favor getting to hashpoints. With expedition 10K getting close, I figured I'd do my part to get us there. However, all of the hashpoints seemed to be very far away and not looking very accessible. But I figured I'd try for this one - at least it was closer than the others.

I set out after I was done at work, but didn't get out as early as I had hoped. It took longer to even get close to the location, and I ran into an accident that was blocking one of the major roads and forcing a detour. Eventually darkness descended upon my expedition and with it hope of getting close to the hashpoint today.

Maybe some other day when I'm headed in this direction.
