"I think we managed to get away without too much staring"

Location

Heron Lakes Golf Course in Kenton, Portland, Oregon. It seems to be in a patch of trees in the course, and since it's a public course owned by Portland Parks & Rec, we can go annoy golfers without paying!

Participants

  • Hamblingreen
  • My parents. My mom actually came up to ME this morning and said "i think your geohashing thing is really close today". I was speechless, I think she might actually like these spontaneous adventures! She's not the most spontaneous person so I'm excited to see her so thrilled about these expeditions.

Plans

We'll drive out to Heron Lakes Golf Course, trash bags in hand in case we find some trash at the course. Maybe the golfers will be less annoyed of our presence if we are cleaning up their course. I'll be in my formal attire because... golf courses are supposed to be fancy? I don't know. Anyway, If we make it to the hashpoint I'll have my first successful geohash of the land variety, and I'll have dragged along my parents. That's a grand total of 5 achievements in my (hopefully) successful adventure! The trash-picking-up makes for a good cover story as well since we clearly are not golfers.

Oh, looking back I already marked geotrash as completed. I didn't take a picture of those discarded cups last time, so I'll delete that and try for it this time.

Expedition

As we piled in the car and headed out to Heron Lake, I realized we forgot our trash bags. What will be our cover story now? We decided that if anyone asked why some kid was walking around with his parents in slacks and a tie we'd just say I was writing a paper on historic Vanport. It was a weak excuse, but since we clearly weren't golfers it was the only excuse we had.

Distractions and Detours

On the way back we stopped and chilled with some pellicans and harons at Haron Lake. There were few distractions this expedition because we were in a hurry to leave.
