Planning

Robyn has declared in advance that she will attend this geohash, even if it takes two days to get there.

thepiguy has also committed himself to the adventure and will begin preparing shortly.

On Thursday I will prepare everything I could conceivably need for a Vancouver geohash. That means bike, kayak, wetsuit, hiking boots, ferry schedules, T-Rex, bear repellent, ambassador letter, compass, GPS and camera batteries and spares charged, games, chalk, tent, sleeping bag, stove, food, and somewhere I can rent snowshoes borrowed from thepiguy.

Then at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, I will check the coordinates. If they are in a remote area I will spend at least an hour planning and researching routes, before I set off in search of the geohash.

Vancouver must not defy me!

Actual Planning

I see two (rather large) problem areas: the middle of the Georgia Straight and the northern quarter of the graticule. Just wondering what our crazy-ridiculous plans for those two eventualities were? How much was it to rent a plane? Thepiguy 05:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
