Attempted & succeeded geohashes
| Date | Distance | Photos? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008-05-24 | 0.5mi | Flickr | Went there with my two children, got within about a half-mile before being foiled by the combination of steep hills, immature thistles, and a four-year-old's patience. Saw two other geohashers on the way in, and another five on the way out. Hope some of 'em made it! |
| 2008-05-31 | ~1mi | Flickr | Drove nearby with Claire, discovered that 152 near the spot is actually a highway instead of the two-lane country road I remembered it being. Then had to drive five miles down the highway to find a suitable place to turn around, whoops (I missed at least one perfectly good turn around at the Dinosaur Point road). On the way back, we stopped a few time to get proof of our lack-of-access, and then waited at the Bell Station Cafe's closed and locked gate for about twenty minutes before heading back. |
| 2008-06-01 | Success! | Flickr | Parked nearby in a dirt field, ran across the exit and then entrance ramps, wandered around the dried-out weeds for a while until I got to the exact point (within 7 feet, at the limit of the GPS's accuracy, anyway). Got pictures for proof, and headed out. Land Geohash achieved! Headed back at 4pm with the kids and met quite a large group. Note: Bring Pete's food next time. |
