2010-10-10: 41.94518°, -72.8512° Coordinates located in a stand of evergreen trees, almost 500' south of Weed Hill Road in West Granby, Connecticut.

Pipeline is accessible NW of the geohash point from the Hop River State Park Trail, which runs along a former rail line. (This is a good opportunity to approach the hash point by bicycle ... you might need to wade into the water to get to the hash point - ha ha.)
2010-10-12: 41.75473°, -72.39806° Coordinates located adjacent to Hutchinson Road in Andover, CT. This road runs parallel to US Route 6. It is a rural farm area.

2010-10-31: 41.47923°, -72.62181° Coordinates located east of Foot Hills Road, east of Durham, Connecticut - and though accessible through a driveway at the end of Oxbow Road, I would advise you look very carefully for NO TRESPASSING signs, here-abouts.

Where to eat: Triple-A-Restaurant, 1209 Main Street, East Hartford, CT, (860) 289-1685. Less than a half mile from the hash point.
2010-11-05: 41.47144°, -72.41446° Coordinates located in somebody's back yard, on Connecticut State Highway 424 (Mt. Parnassus-Millington Road), about three miles east of the Connecticut River and about a mile south of Bashan Lake, in Haddam, Connecticut.

2010-11-11: Veterans Day 41.60997°, -72.42288° Coordinates located in the Salmon River Forest, east of the Salmon River, and north of Connecticut State Route 2, approximately 200 yards west of Jerry Daniels Road and about 500 yards north of South Main Street, in Marlboro, Connecticut. This will probably require a bushwack through a little bit of forest.
Daily entries curtailed for the off-season. Only strange, unusual, and notable hash points will be entered during this time.
2010-11-23: 41.94969°, -72.6727° Coordinates located just off the side of Runway 24 at Bradley International Airport. This is a high security area, so you will be hard pressed to reach this point, unless you work for airport security or are on a jet which runs off of the side of the runway, in which case you would be lucky to walk away.
2010-11-24: 41.46165°, -72.56389° Coordinates located on the western sidelines of the football field of Haddam-Killingworth High School, Little City Road off of Connecticut State Route 81. The hash point is at the 25 yard line at the northerly end of the field. This is an easy geohash.
2011-01-24: 41.46151°, -72.25055° Coordinates located in the middle of a pond on the southwest of Route 85 (New London Road), in Salem, Connecticut. Normally this would require a short swim, or the use of a boat, canoe, inner tube, or other floating device. Today you had the rare option of walking on the water. I didn't take advantage of this opportunity because it was REALLY COLD today. This could be considered an easy geohash ... if you are a polar bear.
2011-03-13: 41.94352°, -72.68502° Deja Vu! (see 2010-11-23) Coordinates located just off the side of Runway 24 at Bradley International Airport.

2011-05-09: 41.7665°, -72.17898° Today's geohash is a perfect opportunity to achieve the Drive-by Geohash award. This geohash point is in the middle of the Bassetts Bridge Road in Mansfield Center, CT, as you travel eastward from Connecticut Route 195 before crossing Mansfield Hollow Lake.
2011-10-09: 41.403°, -72.618° Coordinates located in the woods to the east of Emanuel Church Road in Killington, CT.
