Operation Virgin Geohash
I set out, with only my running shoes and trusty Droid Incredible as my GPS, to be the first to claim a geohash in the Youngstown, Ohio location. As I set out, I ran along the road, climbed onto the train tracks, and approached my goal. I looked on in determination as it became apparent that I must cross a swamp in order to reach the location. Google maps had obscured this fact by showing me the woods. Still, I pressed on. I climbed down the hill and sloshed through the swamp, careful not to drop my Droid Incredible as I went. Finally, I crossed the large swamp and then a smaller marsh and reached the field. From then, it was only a matter of locating the location in the field. Embedded is the proof. I realize that I forgot the date, but rest assured, as I upload this on March 26, I have claimed the graticule. The first to claim Youngstown, Ohio!
(The distance to location is 2.78 meters, well within the margin of error for the GPS)
