I live in the Victoria, British Columbia graticule. I appreciate the randomness and surprise of possible adventures that Geohashing provides.

Various links of interest.

Geohashes Attempted

I've listed the most recent first:

  • 2009-08-08 48 -123 (Victoria, BC: near Butchart Gardens): SUCCESS, right at the entrance to Benvenuto B&B.
  • 2009-06-22 48 -123 (Victoria, BC: Cole Bay): thwarted due to time constraints (would have waded 8m into the ocean to get the point otherwise).
  • 2009-06-13 48 -123 (Victoria, BC: William Head Institute): thwarted by private property (correctional officers wouldn't let me in for some reason :-)

Retro Expedition Candidates

Here's a list of potential retro expeditions to take and why.
