Does anyone want to attempt to meet up on Leap Day tomorrow? (Feb 29th) I'm new to geohashing, but I may attempt to do so for the [[Leap geohash achievement|Leap geohash achievement]]. What time? As I understand it, though I may be wrong, 4 pm is the "accepted" time. It may be difficult to do this. For one, can't know location until day-of at approximately 9:30 am. 2. May fall over water, in which case maybe try the Schaumburg ( 42,-88) graticule. 3. I live almost directly by the SW corner of the graticule, so I may try one of the three adjoining graticules. I will try to post something tomorrow maybe.

Because this graticule is primarily covered by water, I'd like to suggest the following solution. When the meetup location is in Lake Michigan, we instead use the meetup point in the graticule directly to the West. On the rare occasion the meetup point is on land, we use the meetup point within this graticule. Pesto 05:00, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
I second that. Also, did you go to the hash on 2 Aug 08, or is the Virgin Graticule achievement still open? Cortel 14:15, 25 August 2008 (CST)

- I would like to try. I live very near the 43,-88 point, so I tend to use go between 42/43 and -87/-88 whichever set is closest (and on land). I'll still be at work at 4pm, so I can't do that.
