Cities in the GeoHash Vicinity

Ft Myers

What? Nobody lives in Ft Myers?

Naples

The Ft Myers Box for GeoHashing encompases the city of Naples as well as Ft Myers. This area is frequented by the elderly snowbirds and the hardcore Bush fangirls. Unfortunately because of this demographic, travel to any geohashing location in the vicinity of Naples is encouraged to be undertaken only at the risk of life, limb and automobile accidents caused by little old ladies in caddy's.

Potential Problems

Part of the square (the bottom right) lands in the Big Cypress Preserve, a wildlife area along Alligator Alley. As such, I propose any people actively trying to geohash in this area stick to I75 and not trek into the Preserve. However, as said trek across the Alley would be a pain in the arse and result in a trek at least halfway to Miami, the better option is to simply stay on this side of the Alley.

Part of the square is also the Gulf of Mexico. This will make it quite hard to access. The best option is probably just to ignore the water coordinates, however, if one knows a good location to substitute certain water landings, please say so.

I suggest weekend water landings to be substituted by a beach trip, anyone have a preferred location? --Lackofintellect 10:26, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
