Directions to my home site from Hillsboro, Beaverton, or Aloha

Updated 5 FeBruary 2021.



Physical address:

15270 SW Holly Hill Road
Hillsboro, OR 97123-9074

Important:   The dirt or mud driveway at 15270 is the only access to my airplane home.  No other address is related to my home in any way.

You must exercise strict full respect for the privacy of all my neighbors at all times.  Don't disturb them for any reason, and don't encroach upon their property at any time, including any portion of their driveways.  Be certain to drive only upon my dirt (or mud) driveway at 15270 SW Holly Hill Road.  All other driveways belong to unrelated neighbors and you must not drive nor walk upon them.

Also do not view nor capture any media of any of my neighbor's property from anywhere on or above my property.  Be totally respectful of their privacy.

No street parking:  Do not park on nor adjacent to Holly Hill Road - street or adjacent parking is prohibited.  Ascend my driveway in your vehicle then park near its upper end.

Don't spin your tires, even just a little bit, on my dirt road since I must repair the damage by arduous hand shoveling, and since serious erosion damage can result.  My road is initially narrow and steep so you might need a little momentum to crest the first portion.  A practice entry might be necessary to acquire sufficient experience to negotiate it sans tire spinning.

In heavy moisture or snow conditions my driveway might be impassible for many vehicles.  If so please ascend it as far as is feasible, insuring that your vehicle is well clear of Holly Hill Road, then turn your steering wheel fully clockwise, then key lock it, insure all park and brake systems are reliably engaged, insure your vehicle can't slide downhill (with tire blocks if warranted), then walk up my road.  If you're unable due to obstruction by another vehicle you may call or email me to request that I try to swiftly coordinate with the owner of the vehicle to arrange access for your vehicle.  If you're unable due to slick conditions apologies but your only option is to visit at another time or day or locate public parking (at least 2 km distant) then walk or bike very cautiously to my driveway.

Boeing 727-200 Truck Transport Route



This is an archive of the original formal transport route which was required for permits:

This was the transport route for the fuselage, wings and other components.  The disassembled tail was be hauled at a later time along the same route, and, like the wings, did not require road closures or other extraordinary handling.

Fuselage transport speed through unobstructed segments of open roads such as segments of highway 219 might have been be as high as 20 mph.  In urban and congested areas, speed was about 3 mph.  In intersections, speed was very slow.

Starting at the Hillsboro Fair Complex, on the turf just south of the Cavanaugh's hotel, proceeding (hold times are for the fuselage move):

North on NW 34th Avenue to Cornell Road (very short distance), then hold until roughly 1:00 AM
