Today's Location: Minneapolis, MN

Minneapolis's southwest graticule is at latitude 44, longitude -93. This contains most of Minneapolis and St. Paul, stretching farther south than Mankato, and just as west.

Successful Meetups

A successful meetup is one where at least two people were present simultaneously.

May 22nd, 2008, May 25th, 2008, June 14th, 2008, June 21st, 2008, June 28th, 2008

Daily Locations

This list could perhaps be split into 'attempted' and 'not attempted' sections as the list is getting quite long!


Successful puppet master plus coffin hash by coyotebush
No trespassing puppet master by coyotebush
The hash was reached by thousands, but only one who realized it was there (so far as we know).
Aaron of Mpls Reached the point, but not until it was technically the next day.
Jonathan & his girlfriend Kaitlyn attempted to reach the hashpoint.
Reached by Jeremy, his grandma, and his kitten.
  • 2009-09-13: 44.827594°, -93.059714 - Hwy 52 southbound, right lane, a few miles south of 494., near Inver Grove Heights (about 70 minutes or 64.5 miles by car from Rochester)
    • Mark caught it with just a little loop in his drive up 52 from Rochester to his parents' place. Go Speed Racer Go!
    • Brent snagged it, plus some Speed Racer kudos, on his first ever geohash expedition and attempt.
Reached by a group calling themselves Team Adventure
  • 2009-04-03: 44.8419982°, -93.3250850° - W 90th St, East of France, near Bloomington (about 5 minutes or 1.25 miles by car from 494 & France)
    (I-494 exit 6B=France OR I-35W exit 7B=90th St)
    • Alan made it there on his motorcycle a bit before 4pm and stayed for about 30 minutes. Hiked up the hill to the spot and took a few (bad) cell phone pictures.
Alan would make it if he weren't geocaching in SE Minnesota
Erik will be there about 12:45, because it's on his way to work, where he has to be at 1:30 drove past it after work at about 9:20, but didn't stop.
Erik would have made it, but found out its location too late.
Reached by 3 separate groups, who played Fluxx at the hashpoint.
Reached by 6 people.
Reached by Mark, Scott, digory, and 6 others who played Cranium near the hashpoint.
Reached - Joel visited there around lunchtime and felt self-conscious hanging around a residential area.
Also reached by Erica and her cousin Lauren at about 4pm. Lauren took photos.
Erica and her mom are totally taking the excuse to shop. We'll be there sometime in the afternoon/evening. Indication of anyone wanting to meet up will result in a more definite time frame.
UPDATE: Erica's plans fell through.  :-( Oh well. Some other time.
PippaBlue made it to the Sprawl of America and snapped a photo in front of Macy's. Depending on the floor, the actual coordinates seem to have landed somewhere in the middle of men's shirts, the Clinique counter, or luxury bedding.
Jennifer unknowingly achieved the geohash today by pure and utter luck!
A one-time geohasher Rebecca brought her friend Leigh to this location. Noticing the coordinate was on a property line (marked for zoning), and that neither neighbor was home, they walked between the cornfields to the exact spot in the dirt. Pictures are available but uninteresting.
  • 2008-05-28: 44.68745°, -93.212208° - A field east off Ceder Avenue just south of 179th Street One of the last farms left in Farmington, near Farmington (about 34m or 24 miles by car from Minneapolis, MN)
Another local one! I'll be at (or near) this one at around 5 PM on Sunday. -Abi
And I'm going to try to be there, too! -Erica
Successful meetup! Abi, Erica, Ford and Erica's friend Chris (not to be confused with the other Chris) played games in the greenway in the middle of Summit Avenue until we were chased away by the storm.
Successful meetup! Chris and Abi met at approximately 6PM local time. 72.250.19.74 23:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
