PLEASE be respectful of the land use regulations!  Large sections of Eglin Air Force Base are off limits to the public and the rest of the Eglin ranges are open only to people who have permits to go onto them.  A permit may be purchased at Jackson Guard, State Highway 85, Niceville, Florida for $12 and is good through September 30.  If you trespass on the Eglin ranges without a permit, you will (1) get yourself a ticket, (2) make life more difficult for other geohashers who have permits, and (3) possibly trip over an unexploded bomb and blow yourself up.

Out of respect for our geohashers who work from 7:30 to 4:30 on a regular basis, the default meet-up time for this graticule is moved to 5:00 PM from the customary 4:00 PM.

 +
== Meetup Locations ==
 +
{{egl|2010-04-01|30|-87|text=Thursday 01 April}} - Looks very easy at first.  On a civilized part of Eglin Air Force Base ... except that a closer look reveals that it is between two operating runways on an active Air Force flightline.  The Security Police do not like suspicious people--by which I mean "people"--hanging around there.
 +
 
 +
{{egl|2010-05-05|30|-87|text=Wednesday 05 May}} - Another "so near and yet so far."  Anybody who lives in the Fort Walton Beach area and works at Eglin in the development section probably drove right past the meet-up location, and anybody taking off or landing on a commercial flight came within a few hundred feet of it. But to get out and meet there? It helps if you like to kiss concrete and want to spend the next part of your life answering questions from the Air Force Security Police.  Not for me.
 +
 
 +
{{egl|2010-05-11|30|-87|text=Tuesday 11 May}} - Looks very easy just off of Mare Creek Road near Mossy Head.
 +
 
 +
{{egl|2010-07-17|30|-87|text=Saturday 17 July}} - Today's meetup is just west of SR 85 on the Eglin range, just north of the northern SR 123 junction.  It looks eminently reachable for those with Eglin permits.  Liberian will try to make it, although it will probably be much earlier than 5:00.
 +
 
 +
{{egl|2010-07-18|30|-87|text=Sunday 18 July}} - Today's meetup is west of SR 285 on the Eglin range, in an open area and only a hundred feet from the nearest trail.  It looks eminently reachable for those with Eglin permits.  Liberian will try to make it.
 +
 
 +
{{egl|2010-07-24|30|-87|text=Sunday 24 July}} - Today's meetup is east and slightly south of Duke Field, on an open part of the Eglin range.  Liberian will try to make it, although it may be considerably earlier than the usual meetup time due to scheduling constraints.
 +
 
 +
{{egl|2010-12-12|30|-87|text=Sunday 12 December}} - Today's meetup is on the corner of Reeves Drive and Scott Lane in metropolitan Fort Walton Beach.  Liberian plans to be there.

The Crestview, FL graticule is located at latitude 30 N, longitude 86 W.

PLEASE be respectful of the land use regulations! Large sections of Eglin Air Force Base are off limits to the public and the rest of the Eglin ranges are open only to people who have permits to go onto them. A permit may be purchased at Jackson Guard, State Highway 85, Niceville, Florida for $12 and is good through September 30. If you trespass on the Eglin ranges without a permit, you will (1) get yourself a ticket, (2) make life more difficult for other geohashers who have permits, and (3) possibly trip over an unexploded bomb and blow yourself up.

Out of respect for our geohashers who work from 7:30 to 4:30 on a regular basis, the default meet-up time for this graticule is moved to 5:00 PM from the customary 4:00 PM.

Meetup Locations

Thursday 01 April - Looks very easy at first. On a civilized part of Eglin Air Force Base ... except that a closer look reveals that it is between two operating runways on an active Air Force flightline. The Security Police do not like suspicious people--by which I mean "people"--hanging around there.

Wednesday 05 May - Another "so near and yet so far." Anybody who lives in the Fort Walton Beach area and works at Eglin in the development section probably drove right past the meet-up location, and anybody taking off or landing on a commercial flight came within a few hundred feet of it. But to get out and meet there? It helps if you like to kiss concrete and want to spend the next part of your life answering questions from the Air Force Security Police. Not for me.

Tuesday 11 May - Looks very easy just off of Mare Creek Road near Mossy Head.

Saturday 17 July - Today's meetup is just west of SR 85 on the Eglin range, just north of the northern SR 123 junction. It looks eminently reachable for those with Eglin permits. Liberian will try to make it, although it will probably be much earlier than 5:00.

Sunday 18 July - Today's meetup is west of SR 285 on the Eglin range, in an open area and only a hundred feet from the nearest trail. It looks eminently reachable for those with Eglin permits. Liberian will try to make it.

Sunday 24 July - Today's meetup is east and slightly south of Duke Field, on an open part of the Eglin range. Liberian will try to make it, although it may be considerably earlier than the usual meetup time due to scheduling constraints.

Sunday 12 December - Today's meetup is on the corner of Reeves Drive and Scott Lane in metropolitan Fort Walton Beach. Liberian plans to be there.

Expeditions

  • Arrow2.png 2018-05-21 Mon - Did not attempt - Curse of Unawareness. It was in the parking lot of a business just off a main highway. Liberian went by two days later to attempt the "Day Late and a Dollar Short" award, even though it was more than one day.

  • Arrow2.png 2011-10-09 Sat - Successful - In Santa Rosa Sound, about 30 feet offshore of St. Simon's on the Sound Episcopal Church. Liberian and Yankee put a kayak in at Liza Jackson Park and against a stiff headwind made it to the meetup point. Going back was much easier.
