Achievements

Graticule unlocked.png
Drakon earned the Graticule Unlocked Achievement
by being the first to reach any hashpoint in the (40, -77) graticule, here, on 2008-06-28.

Note: This ribbon was awarded by Eldin long after the original expedition. This was the first claimed success in this graticule. No evidence was provided, but there's a general consensus that the early geohashing expeditions are held to a lower standard of proof, and this one was just over a month after Geohashing began. Additionally, Rhonda did not claim the graticule unlocked achievement on her 2010-07-11 40 -77 expedition, which was the first in the graticule to provide adequate proof.
