The Portland [[graticule]] is at {{Today's location|lat=45|lon=-122|text=45 N, 122 W}}.  It completely encloses the city of Portland and some surrounding areas.  The graticule is almost entirely land, much of it open and undeveloped, making this one of the best areas for geohashing.

The Portland metro area [[graticule]] is at [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=45&long=-122 45 N, 122 W]. It completely encloses the city of Portland and some surrounding areas.  The graticule is almost entirely land, much of it open and undeveloped, making this one of the best areas for geohashing.

The ten most recent expeditions are captured automatically by [[User:AperfectBot]] and shown here.  A full list of Expeditions can be found at [[Portland, Oregon/Expeditions]].  Manual lists from before the bot are available [[Portland, Oregon/Archives|on the archives page.]]

==Meetup time==
 
It was proposed, and no objections were raised, so the official meetup time for our graticule(s) is now
 
2PM from Oct 1 to March 15, and 4PM for the rest of the year.  I'd say this applies to neighboring graticules as well.
 
 
 
==Planning and Coordination==

Many of the folks in the [[Portland, Oregon]] graticule hop over to the
 
[[McMinnville, Oregon]] graticule for hashpoints there.  The planning
 
was happening here on the Portland page, but now with the [[User:AperfectBot]]
 
picking up Category:Expedition planning pages, it makes sense to move the planning
 
to the expedition page itself once someone is committed to going.

=Graticule History=
[[User:Redaragorn|redaragorn]] pays a visit to the Portland graticuleExpedition Success.
+
==2008==
 +
This graticule has a long (for geohashing) and storied history.  It all began with the world's first ever geohashing expedition in February of 2008 during beta testing.  After the algorithm was announced, Portland maintained some modest activity, with plans or expeditions happening once a week or so into August.
 +
==2009==
 +
Unfortunately, though, this graticule, which is wonderful for geohashing, was then inactive until January of 2009, when activity started trickling back in.  The most active geohasher in the area, [[User:Jiml|Jim]], started at this time with his first expedition on 2009-01-19.  Activity continued to increase over the warm and generally pleasant summer months.  [[User:Aperfectring|APR]], one of the area's more active geohashers, was relocated here (from Florida) in September 2009, though he had visited (and geohashed) here earlier in 2009.  Activity briefly took a dip in September, but returned to more normal levels in October and November, the same timeframe that [[User:Michael5000|Michael 5000]], another fairly active geohasher in the area, discovered geohashingSince then, the community has been fairly active, ranking 4th in November 2009, and tied for 2nd in December 2009 for expeditions.

==2010==
Jim, and the 5000s, see a house in NortheastExpedition Success.
+
The beginning of the year continued pretty much like the end of the previous one, with Portland being 4th for expeditions in January.  February and March maintained the activity for the area, but there was more graticule hopping, causing Portland to drop for number of expeditions.  However, in April, activity exploded in the areaPortland had 9 expeditions, the most in its history in a single month, and McMinnville tied its previous record of 4 expeditions.

=Graticule History=
 
==2008==
 
This graticule has a long (for geohashing) and storied history.  It all began with the world's first ever geohashing expedition in February of 2008 during beta testing.  After the algorithm was announced, Portland maintained some modest activity, with plans or expeditions happening once a week or so into August.
 
==2009==
 
Unfortunately, though, this graticule, which is wonderful for geohashing, was then inactive until January of 2009, when activity started trickling back in.  The most active geohasher in the area, [[User:Jiml|Jim]], started at this time with his first expedition on 2009-01-19.  Activity continued to increase over the warm and generally pleasant summer months.  [[User:Aperfectring|APR]], one of the area's more active geohashers, was relocated here (from Florida) in September 2009, though he had visited (and geohashed) here earlier in 2009.  Activity briefly took a dip in September, but returned to more normal levels in October and November, the same timeframe that [[User:Michael5000|Michael 5000]], another fairly active geohasher in the area, discovered geohashing.  Since then, the community has been fairly active, ranking 4th in November 2009, and tied for 2nd in December 2009 for expeditions.
 
  
==2010==
 
The beginning of the year continued pretty much like the end of the previous one, with Portland being 4th for expeditions in January.  February and March maintained the activity for the area, but there was more graticule hopping, causing Portland to drop for number of expeditions.  However, in April, activity exploded in the area.  Portland had 9 expeditions, the most in its history in a single month, and McMinnville tied its previous record of 4 expeditions.

Today's location: not yet announced

The Portland graticule is at 45 N, 122 W. It completely encloses the city of Portland and some surrounding areas. The graticule is almost entirely land, much of it open and undeveloped, making this one of the best areas for geohashing.

Mailing List

Please subscribe to the mailing list for Portland Geohashing. It can be used to alert participants of interesting or accessible geohash locations who may otherwise not frequent the wiki page or be actively monitoring these on their own.

Meetup time

It was proposed, and no objections were raised, so the official meetup time for our graticule(s) is now 2PM from Oct 1 to March 15, and 4PM for the rest of the year. I'd say this applies to neighboring graticules as well.
