Considered geohashes
- 2008-06-15 -- Today's location looks like an orchard on private property. Too bad, because it is pretty close to Santa Barbara, and not out to sea. --Pconrad
Identifiable Users Actively Monitoring the Page
- User:Pconrad created the Santa Maria, California Graticule, and watches that one too, hoping for a nice accessible spot on the beach.
- User:Jareds is monitoring the Graticule at least for Saturdays. See 2008-06-07 for amusement.
- User:f4hy has been monitoring irregularly. "If we get a coordinate closer to the coast I'll be there."
- User:contraption checks once in a while and might just show up some time, probably on a weekend.
- User:Qwertypi checking when I remember and waiting for a good SB/Goleta selection.
- User:Capso Waiting to meet other folk living in, or willing to come around to, Santa Barbara or Goleta. Checking... err... "regularly". Ahem, also, I'm 'van Orman' in the Facebook group -- this is the only reason I signed up, so someone better be there when a reachable spot is decided.
- User:kitk spreading the GeoHash community - one believer at a time...reservoir area today?
- User:FuNx lives in Ventura but on weekends travels to Cerritos, which is in the slightly less Geohash-friendly graticule of Long Beach.
- User:Dhilung waiting for some hike up to the geohash.
- s0meb0dy has been lurking for a while, finally signed up.
Meetups
- 2008-06-07 34 -119: Wilderness near Ojai. Failed attempt by Jareds. First attempted hash in this graticule.
- 2011-12-14 34 -119: Hash point right on the Ojai Valley Trail. This was easy to get to. Even for s0meb0dy. Am I the first in this Graticule?
- 2012-03-16 34 -119: Hash point in the middle of Violeta St in Saticoy and within walking distance. Success! s0meb0dy
- 2019-03-23 34 -119: A parking lot in Oxnard. Success! McKay (talk)

Other comments that have been posted
- I've got myself and another watching it. If it's close enough, we might be able to make the trip. (2008-06-09 was on Santa Cruz Island, anyone attempt?)
- My husband and I live in the area as well. Today's (6-11-08) isn't too bad but jobs prevent wandering around outside all day. Guess we will have to see what Saturday brings! --erife
