== Geohashing Historical Society Note: [[2008-02-17_45_-122|2/17/2008 - Sunday]] ==
 
It was from the [[Geohashing wiki history#Beta Testing|Olden Times]], back before the xkcd geohash wiki had gone live... but the February 17 meeting in the graticule should probably be celebrated all the same.  :)
 
 
 
== 2008 expeditions with report==
 
 
 
=== [[2008-08-16_45_-122|8/16/2008 - Saturday]] ===
 
The location looks like it's in the alley between two houses out in Oregon City.
 
 
 
=== [[2008-08-02_45_-122|8/2/2008 - Saturday]] ===
 
 
 
((Local information taken from the e-mail list, so credit goes to [[User:Wil|Wil]] for this.))
 
 
 
The location is [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=18108259276590435138,45.233042,-122.877019&q=45.233043++-122.877020&ie=UTF8&t=p&z=15&iwloc=addr Here] for those that want to Google Map it. As stated by Wil, it actually has a street view. Odd. Looks to be a field right off of I-5.
 
 
 
Locally, it is a mile away from [http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_113.php Champoeg State Park] and the nearest town is Woodburn.
 
 
 
[[User:Maravi|Maravi]] will be there, and this will be his virgin Geohash. Yay!
 
 
 
[[User:MrBeatdown|Tim Ferrell]] is gonna make it.  1st timer.
 
 
 
[[User:Maggie|Maggie]]: I will probably be there with a friend. It sort of depends on what ends up happening for the rest of the day.
 
 
 
=== [[2008-07-26_45_-122|7/26/2008 - Saturday]] ===
 
 
 
The point is out near Sandy.  It's relatively near [http://clackamas.us/parks/eaglefern.htm Eagle Fern Park]; we may be able to park there and walk to the actual point, if anyone's up for a 3-4 mile hike.
 
 
 
In Sandy, there's a burger place called [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=42015+SE+Highway+26,+Sandy,+OR&ie=UTF8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ll=45.367223,-122.274227&spn=0.107336,0.243587&z=13&iwloc=addr Calamity Janes] that seems to have decent reviews.  How about we find the point at 4pm and all go out for burgers afterwards?
 
 
 
[[User:Maggie|Maggie]] will be there this week, and is up for a hike and burgers. Yes indeed.
 
 
 
[[User:Wil|Wil]]: Heh.  I wrote the two paragraphs above, but forgot to mention that I will be there.
 
 
 
=== [[2008-07-19_45_-122|7/19/2008 - Saturday]] ===
 
 
 
Looks like another field in Woodburn! Woo!
 
 
 
[[User:Jhon|Jhon]] will be thar!
 
 
 
Probably [[User:Wil|Wil]], too.

=== [[2008-09-13_45_-122|10/25/2008 - Saturday]] ===
 
well, here comes another geohash, I'll try to be more proactive like Wil, this Saturday is a robotics competition at [http://www.omsi.org OMSI]and was wondering if anyone on/in the Internets wishes to come? time is from 10:00am to 4:00pm. for more information please post here and I'll add more then. (and wil, I'm NOT biking this time, got a robot to carry.) [[User:admalledd|admalledd]] 4:31, 23 2008 (UTC)
 
 
 
=== [[2008-09-13_45_-122|9/13/2008 - Saturday]] ===
 
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)
 
 
 
=== [[2008-08-23_45_-122|8/23/2008 - Saturday]] ===
 
[[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?
 
 
 
[[User:Maggie|Maggie]]: I will be there! It's been a while.
 
 
 
[[User:admalledd|admalledd]]:sorry I couldn't make it. last minute plans I did not know of.

Revision as of 00:38, 10 November 2009

Astoria Mt. St. Helens, Washington Mt. Rainier, Washington
McMinnville Portland The Dalles
Eugene Springfield Bend

Today's location: not yet announced


The Portland metro area graticule is at 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.

For other places called Portland, go here.

Cities in this Graticule

  • Portland, OR
  • Vancouver, WA

Planning and Coordination

Many of the folks in the Portland, Oregon graticule hop over to the McMinnville, Oregon graticule for hashpoints there. The planning was happening here on the Portland page, but now with the User:AperfectBot picking up Category:Expedition planning pages, it makes sense to move the planning to the expedition page itself.

Mailing List

There is now a mailing list for Portland Geohashing.

Participants

  • Elegant Forkbomb lives in Portland
  • 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.
  • Drache and 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.
  • Wil See my user page or specific dates above for more information. Also on my user page is information about my Geohashing gallery.
  • thefinn93 lives in Portland, has no car (too young) but knows how to use public transit well. I should start coming to these.
  • Timmothy Tee I plan on going monday, with three other hashers. One of the "Geo-Cyclists"
  • Admalledd live in Vancouver Washington, Another of the "Geo-Cyclists"
  • doiuf Located in Vancouver, WA. Have yet to make a meet-up.
  • Jessica may become an active member today, June 7, 2008.
  • James Just stumbled onto geohashing and can't wait for next saturday
  • Tim Ferrell I'm based in Salem and thinking about trying this out on 6/21. What all should I bring for a meetup? I answered my own question and added a link.
  • grishnav Moved to Seattle, so he's only going to get down here to hang out with you guys from time to time...
  • Kpeace Live in Portland. 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.
  • zem has a busy schedule and can't travel far without a car but will try whenever possible and/or feasible.
  • Maggie lives in Portland, has a car, and enjoys geohashing very much.
  • Maravi lives in Lake Oswego, Oregon and started GHing on 2 August 2008. Woo!
  • 3riador lives at Reed College, is fairly mobile, and loves playing with GPS.
  • Jiml lives south of Hillsboro, and has a GPS unit. He's been on a number of expeditions, some succesful.
  • aperfectring has moved here.
  • michael5000 & Mrs.5000

Happy hunting!
