Today's Location: [Miami, Florida]
Unfortunately, the Miami graticule (25° N, 80° W) is primarily taken up by water and the Everglades (downside of living in a tropical paradise). That is, on any given day, most geohashes cannot be reached without either a (normal) boat or an airboat. Below are listed some of the recent geohashes to give an idea of accessibility.
