| − | The Portland metro area [[graticule]] is at [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=45&long=-122 45 N, 122 W]. It completely encloses the city of Portland and some surrounding areas. The graticule is almost entirely land, much of it open and undeveloped, making this one of the best areas for geohashing.

| − | [[User:Jhon|Jhon]] - Gonna be there with bells on! Hopefully I'll convince some friends to be dragged along. Stops afterward will probably include [http://www.ancientwonders.net/ Ancient Wonders] (Don't let the terrible website fool you) and a good Thai restaurant nearby. I'll be up in Camas before hand so if anyone in the greater Portland area needs a ride, you'll be on the way :)

| − | Field trip! This week's point is in the NW corner of the graticule. This means that if we jump one graticule south, we'd be in the outskirts of Salem. I've never been to Salem, but I've met some geohashers from there and it would be cool to see them again. If I can find anyone to ride with me or anyone to meet me in Salem (or both,) I'll be at the 44,-122 graticule's meetup point tomorrow. [[User:Wil|Wil]] 18:39, 12 September 2008 (UTC) UPDATE: The meetup is in two hours. Only one other person said they'd be making it and they emailed a few minutes ago to cancel. Looks like I won't be headed down to Salem today. [[User:Wil|Wil]] 21:03, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

| − | [[User:Wil|Wil]]: The actual location is just north of Silverton. I've suggested an alternate location: [http://www.omsi.org OMSI] in Portland. See you there? UPDATE: Some friends and I are probably going to head over early, around noon. One person I spoke to expressed some disbelief (and a slight hint of derision) that I was going to OMSI, saying that it was "[http://xkcd.com/150/ for kids]". Therefore, I figured a few extra hours at OMSI would be time well spent... Anyway, I'll be hanging around the entrance of the museum at the official meetup time (16:00,) but I may be inside as early as noon.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[User:admalledd|admalledd]]: I'll be coming to OMSI (was planing to go Monday but this works too.) definitely one more person (driver) possible some friends! I wonder how the ball machine is doing?

| − | =Participants=
| |
| − | * [[User:Elegant Forkbomb|Forrest]] lives in Salem, and plans to bike out to whichever graticule is best located this Saturday.
| |
| − | * [[User:AlexP|Alexp]] If anyone from Salem ever needs a lift to any of the Saturday Meet-ups let me know, I'll see what I can do.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * [[User:Drache|Drache]] and [[User:NoTerminal|NoTerminal]] will be hosting the first Saturday GeoHashing meetup for the Portland Graticule this week. Wherever it is, we'll be there with a chess board (or maybe two) and an arsenal of tech. If it's somewhere unreachable, we'll be as close as we can get. Look for a very dirty black VW Jetta or a silver Subaru Imprezza hatch-back with an over sized roof rack. There will be XKCD signs in the windows and our actual GPS coordinates on the dash if we're not at the specified ones. We'll also be on CB channel 36, family radio channel 13 with no codepage or codepage 0, and HAM radio frequency 146.52mhz, Callsign KC7KWX. Our CBs are car mounted so switch to ham or family when you're close to the location.

Participated in first geohash on 6/28; I don't have a car so I'm at the mercy of my car-owning friends for distant hashes, but I am an avid bikerider so anything within navigable city limits or in the vicinity of the Springwater Corridor trail I may visit unilaterally.
