Description of Achievement

This cooperative achievement is achieved by a pair of geohashers. The first geohasher would attend a geohash in a place, for example, Vancouver, Washington, USA (in the Portland, Oregon graticule). That person, having proved their hash at that particular point, puts out a challenge to a geoahsher in a place with the same place name. (for example, Robyn of Vancouver, British Columbia).

That geohasher has seven days or until a hash falls within the area's limit to do a geohash in the same name, which ever is the longer time period. If they are successful, both geohashers gain this achievement.

Special distinction should be given to a pair of geohashers who manage to complete this achievement in a single day or in particularly small areas. Particularly amusing stretching to get this achievement should also receive note (pairing Earth, Texas[1] with any other geohash, for instance).

Useful tools

Wikipedia's disambiguation pages (for example, Vancouver's [2]) are simple ways for finding shared city names.
