I live in Boston

Thoughts: I wonder what percentage of Boston graticule is covered in poison ivy. It can't be a particularly large percentage, but it occurs to me that this project would get us perfect data on the matter. A truly random sample, as long as you go to every hash ...

I have been to geohashes in two states.

Geohashes I've visited

During testing

2008-05-17 37 -122

Several others whose dates I actually lost, I'll dig them up later. All were before the site went up, of course.
