I detoured to Nehalem on my way from Portland to Nachotta. I was there at just
after 6 PM. The gate was locked. Presumably they lock it when there are no
employees present. I have an old key to the facility from years ago, but I
doubt it works on the subject lock, or that I should use it now without
reminding them. In any case, don't expect access during non-business hours.
