  • cpthomp is here in Newark, and has a car, up for Delaware, PA, MD hashes
  • cshulse is in Philadelphia and is hoping for a Saturday Meetup between 39.5 and 40.5 because gas is quite pricey these days.
  • rkweicker lives in Philly - and will definitely hit up any hashes that are in and around the city.

  • Skavoovee is in Collegeville and would love to give this a shot! Has a car and is willing to drive around a bit!
  • TexasDex is in Philly but is without car until... probably a long time. I'd happily attempt a meetup that is SEPTA/bike accessible; other meetings probably not, unless my car-owning XKCD friend is interested.
  • IchiroKatsuo is smack-dab in the middle of south jersey, and is another car-less 'hasher. will also attemt some AC geohashes, cause he's within walking distance of the border.

  • Kyla can't believe Chris got her into this. From the Bethlehem area, owns a car, recognizable by a black fedora.
  • Peppage Lives in south Jersey and is ready to drive/go exciting places.
  • Jevanyn lives in Somerville, and is a supporter of the Museum of Art (the one with the Rocky statue), so he's in the city on occasion.
  • Madmaxie hails from the Spring Garden neighborhood, has an aging road bike, lives a block from a beer distributor, and will gladly bring slightly warm, shaken-up refreshments to a meeting, along with a frisbee and an iPod laden with horrible 80's music.
  • Blastercorps Car-equipped newbie to geohashing, will go to any nearby locations.
  • RugbyBeef is in University City, Prius equipped with GPS, and is hoping to make this a routine thing.
