People
Expeditions
This is an expedition using my own Notify program.
I drove out an hour and a half to Dallas Georgia on the west side of the graticle to claim the 100th Saturday.
Since is was in the middle of the highway, I attempted as many times as I could to get the exact spot. With only 2 or 3 seconds to do the GPS dance before an oncoming car was coming at me at 65+ mph I settled for a picture from the side of the road.
It has taken me more than 10 years to win this award. I never thought when I started Geohashing in June of 2008 that I would ever win this award, or be the first one to win it.
I have also found out that a Garmin ETrex expiration date has passed as it is no longer displaying a date on it.
