[[User:Flagtown Coyote|Flagtown Coyote]]: I'm still a virgin to this, don't quite understand the formula, and have never been to Portland before. But I have a wireless capable laptop, I know how to use google maps, and I enjoy long bike rides, so maybe I'll find you guys!

Please subscribe to the [http://scrypt.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/portland-geohash mailing list] for Portland Geohashing. It can be used to alert participants of interesting or accessible geohash locations who may otherwise not frequent the wiki page or be actively monitoring these on their own.

A good place to meet for food after would be one of the excellent mexican restaurants in the barrio on main street in [http://www.edibleportland.com/2007/10/carne_culture_c.html Woodburn.]

==Meetup time==
 +
It was proposed, and no objections were raised, so the official meetup time for our graticule(s)
 +
is now 2PM from Oct 1 to March 15, and 4PM for the rest of the year. I'd say this applies to neighboring graticules as well.

[[User:Jess523s|Jessica]]: The location seems to be slightly less in the middle of nowhere than last weekend. But still, it's rather in the middle of nowhere. Once again, who's going? (and is the map correct this time?)

[[User:Zac|Zac]]: I was considering it.  This isn't my home graticule, so I don't know the area that well.  Also, I have nothing else to do.  :)
 
  
−
[[User:Jess523s|Jessica]]: Sweet! Possibly see you there. Either way, I think I've got a group of three or so together. If all goes well, we'll be heading out in half of an hour or so. Might be a little late (or absent if Larch Mountain Road turns out to be evil), but eh.
 
  
−
[[User:Zac|Zac]]: Almost made it.  I got about halfway (It was about a 2 mile hike from the road) before I started to feel a little nauseous and light headed.  :(  Did you end up making a go at it?  How about tomorrow's?
+
<!---I am hiding the graticule history for now, as having detail for 2008-2010 and nothing from 2011-2022 gives things an abandoned look.  M5K

[[User:Jess523s|Jessica]]: Eh, we drove as close as we could, but as we were about an hour late, we decided not to travel too far off the main road : \ It was quite pretty in that area, though. Oh, and 6/15's location looks beautiful. A golf course!

=Graticule History=
 +
==2008==
 +
This graticule has a long (for geohashing) and storied history.  It all began with the world's first ever geohashing expedition in February of 2008 during beta testing.  After the algorithm was announced, Portland maintained some modest activity, with plans or expeditions happening once a week or so into August.
 +
==2009==
 +
Unfortunately, though, this graticule, which is wonderful for geohashing, was then inactive until January of 2009, when activity started trickling back in.  The most active geohasher in the area, [[User:Jiml|Jim]], started at this time with his first expedition on 2009-01-19.  Activity continued to increase over the warm and generally pleasant summer months.  [[User:Aperfectring|APR]], one of the area's more active geohashers, was relocated here (from Florida) in September 2009, though he had visited (and geohashed) here earlier in 2009.  Activity briefly took a dip in September, but returned to more normal levels in October and November, the same timeframe that [[User:Michael5000|Michael 5000]], another fairly active geohasher in the area, discovered geohashing. Since then, the community has been fairly active, ranking 4th in November 2009, and tied for 2nd in December 2009 for expeditions.

=== [[2008-06-02_45_-122|6/2/2008 - Monday]] ===
+
==2010==
 +
The beginning of the year continued pretty much like the end of the previous one, with Portland being 4th for expeditions in January.  February and March maintained the activity for the area, but there was more graticule hopping, causing Portland to drop for number of expeditions.  However, in April, activity exploded in the area.  Portland had 9 expeditions, the most in its history in a single month, and McMinnville tied its previous record of 4 expeditions.

Erin: If anyone is interested, I'll most likely be at the Monday location. It appears to be near Walnut Grove, and it doesn't look too hard to get there. Hopefully I'll bring a small crowd with me, along with a picnic! I guess we'll stick to the XKCD Saturday meet time of around 4:00.

[[User:admalledd|admalledd]]: I believe that me and a small group of people will also be going to Monday's location, we plan on biking, we might add to your picnic Erin by brining pringles!

* [[User:Drache|Drache]] and [[User:NoTerminal|NoTerminal]] will be hosting the first Saturday GeoHashing meetup for the Portland Graticule this week.  Wherever it is, we'll be there with a chess board (or maybe two) and an arsenal of tech.  If it's somewhere unreachable, we'll be as close as we can get.  Look for a very dirty black VW Jetta or a silver Subaru Imprezza hatch-back with an over sized roof rack.  There will be XKCD signs in the windows and our actual GPS coordinates on the dash if we're not at the specified ones.  We'll also be on CB channel 36, family radio channel 13 with no codepage or codepage 0, and HAM radio frequency 146.52mhz, Callsign KC7KWX.  Our CBs are car mounted so switch to ham or family when you're close to the location.

* [[User:Kpeace|Kpeace]] Live in Portland. Participated in first geohash on 6/28; I don't have a car so I'm at the mercy of my car-owning friends for distant hashes, but I am an avid bikerider so anything within navigable city limits or in the vicinity of the Springwater Corridor trail I may visit unilaterally.

The Portland graticule is at 45 N, 122 W. It completely encloses the city of Portland and some surrounding areas. The graticule is almost entirely land, much of it open and undeveloped, making this one of the best areas for geohashing.

Retro Expeditions


Mailing List

Please subscribe to the mailing list for Portland Geohashing. It can be used to alert participants of interesting or accessible geohash locations who may otherwise not frequent the wiki page or be actively monitoring these on their own.

Meetup time

It was proposed, and no objections were raised, so the official meetup time for our graticule(s) is now 2PM from Oct 1 to March 15, and 4PM for the rest of the year. I'd say this applies to neighboring graticules as well.
