A multi-day hash would be awesome, since both geohashing day and mouse over day co-ordinates will be announced at the same time. It'll also make some points more accessible as we won't have to get there and back on the same day (except for those who work Saturday).

===Alternate===
 
We should have an alternate all ready to go. My suggestion is "the best hash we missed this year." There must have been one somewhere that you looked at and said "if only it wasn't Wednesday/5 p.m./raining/freezing/laundry day/the day before my thesis defence" and regretted not getting to. We could go retrohash it.
 
 
 
:I was just thinking of alternates today. There's the inaugural-day point, which we held as an alternate last year but didn't visit, on a beach on Gabriola Island.
 
 
 
:On the 10th there was one in the tantalus range, halfway to lake lovely water, which is a provincial park campground... with cabins and everything. There's also the garibaldi expedition you planned then didn't do. -- [[User:Rhonda|Rhonda]] 02:20, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
::Of those two, the Garibaldi would be my preference. The Tantalus is on a very steep slope and of course all Tantalus range hashes require fording a difficult river. There's also the New Otherton hash on Anvil Island, but not everyone has a boat. -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 02:41, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
:::True enough; I want to get one in the Tantalus one day, but geohashing day may not be the best time to go for it :-) I would support Gabriola Island as an alternate, or Garibaldi if there is consensus that a cool retro that wasn't a geohashing day point will be appropriate. Gabriola Island has the benefit that there's more likely to be people we can try to share cake with, but the disadvantage that it requires two ferry rides to get to. -- [[User:Rhonda|Rhonda]] 04:58, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
