= Geohashes Attempted =

* [[2009-06-13 48 -123]] (Victoria, BC: William Head Institute): '''thwarted''' by private property (correctional officers wouldn't let me in for some reason :-)
* [[2009-06-22 48 -123]] (Victoria, BC: Cole Bay): '''thwarted''' due to time constraints (would have waded 8m into the ocean to get the point otherwise).
