Local Geohashers
- Anna lives in Bethesda, not far from the intersection of four graticules (Baltimore, Frederick, DC East and DC West) and would like to attend on Saturdays in whichever graticule presents a closer/more interesting location. However, she is a little discouraged by the seeming lack of recent activity on this page. Is anyone still here? Did the Halloween meetup ever happen?
- Bree lives in NoVa, and plans to attend meetups simply because adventure is too good to pass up, and her mom will freak when she finds out.
- Thomas lives in this area, and plans to attend the meetup in whichever local graticule is most convenient on Saturday.
- Colin also is a resident of this area and plans to attend on Saturday (May 24).
- Steve and Lynette currently live in the Eastern Washington graticule, but are moving to the Western in two weeks, and will attend whichever meetup is most convenient whenever they are able.
- Dan technically lives in the very bottom of the Frederick graticule, but will be attending meetups in this graticule when it's more convenient (gas is expensive!).
- Brian's mother has a house on Kent Island, which would be ideal to visit on a day like today
- Justin also lives in the Fairfax area, and will attend when able - like Dan said, gas is expensive!
