Curse of Unawareness! On the 24th of February, 2018 (at the age of 15), I attended a Scouting event called Anything Goes. Our tent was pitched about 150 meters away from the Geohash (according to a geotagged photo on my phone), and I would have spent the day walking around the site participating in activities. With the Geohash being on the campgrounds and just next to the main path, it is virtually guaranteed I walked somewhere within 0-100m from the Geohash itself that day. In any case, if I had known, I would have taken a picture for the future.

I found about this nearly six years later - on the 25th of January, 2024 - by flipping through my old Scout programs and geohashing.info. If I introduce Geohashing to some fellow Scouts who also attended this and they make an account, I shall generously endow their profile with this unachievement too; spreading this virus like a more personal, targeted version of The Game.
