Location

In the middle of 229th Avenue in Hillsboro

Participants

Jim

Plans

Go by on the way to visit with folks

Expedition

I left late, so didn't have time to go in the morning, but went by on my way home. It actually was 3:30PM, which was probably the closest I've been to being there "on time" in quite a while. (Though, I think our Grat uses 3PM in the Winter time.)

I passed through the hashpoint and saw the GPS hit 10 feet, and looped around to take another pass. This one I did at 35mph, so I did a "Speed Racer", and I happened to see the GPS hit 0 feet when I glanced down at one point, so I seem to have gotten pretty close.

Then I didn't take any photos and headed home.

Achievements

Land Geohash
