Today's Location: Minneapolis, MN
See Also: Twin Cities, Minnesota
Minneapolis's southwest graticule is at latitude 44, longitude -93. This contains most of Minneapolis and St. Paul, stretching farther south than Mankato, and just as west.
Successful Meetups
- A successful meetup is one where at least two people were present simultaneously.
May 22nd, 2008, May 25th, 2008, June 14th, 2008, June 21st, 2008, June 28th, 2008
Local Geohashers
FsM lives in Como and has no form of long distance transportation other than the bus, so its just a matter of waiting for the right day...
Rob lives near this and Minneapolis NW, Minnesota, also regrets missing on Saturday, and is keeping his options open for this weekend.
Chris is abysmally busy, and would normally update the daily locations by now, but work is killing him. He'll get to it today, though. He is not planning on attending any geohash until this weekend (May 31st).
Abi lives in south Minneapolis, and will try to make it to the geohashes that don't require expending an excessive quantity of gas to get there.
Ford lives in St. Paul and hates to drive. I guess one only has to go on the hash once in a lifetime to be a hashi, though. Or is that hashashin?
Jennifer lives in St. Paul and will be attending when both work, location, and the stars collide. It's more than likely she will be at ones closer to the city than those further out like Saturday's (May 24 2008) location.
Erica actually lives in the SE graticule of the Twin Cities (St. Paul SE, Minnesota), but is open to traveling to other Geo Hashes that are somewhat close by.
Alex lives in South Minneapolis and would love to do this on a Saturday when she can tear herself away from grading papers (which will get much easier in, oh, two weeks).
digory lives here and will attend either these ones or the Minneapolis NW, Minnesota as he has time and they are reasonably accessible (or unreasonably as he has more time)
Michael lives in this graticule, but can't drive like many others, so will attend these or the Minneapolis NW, Minnesota ones if they are close by.
Brendan lives near this graticule and is able to drive anywhere within reason
Joel lives just northwest of Minneapolis but is keeping an eye on this square also.
mike has too many vehicles, but prefers to stick to his bicycle or motorcycle when possible.
Rebecca is starting a job on June 2 requiring her to work at 4 PM. (Boo...)
Nick doesn't like paying for gas, but might be willing to drive (relatively) short distances.
Skyler is at the U, and can bike or bus, but that's pretty much it.
Alan lives in the NE corner of this graticule, on the East side of St. Paul.
Ashley lives just south of Minneapolis and will be attempting Saturday excursions the summer of 2008.
Ali is living in the location for the summer only. He's going to try to come to as many as possible.
Erik lives in a small town 15 miles southeast of Mankato. He might check out ones near him, if he remembers.
Daily Locations
- 2008-08-04: 44.1075°, -93.681598° - A field south of 380th Ave., near Janesville (about 1h 35m or 78 miles by car from Minneapolis, MN)
Erik would have made it, but found out it's location too late.
- 2008-07-28: 44.98563°, -93.07997° - (44° 59.138', -93° 4.798') On E Nevada Ave (residential street), near downtown St. Paul, MN (about 10m or 2.5 miles by car from I-94 & I-35E)
- 2008-06-10: 44.875845°, -93.099769° - in the water, on the west end of Sunfish lake!, near South St. Paul (about 25 minutes or 16 miles by car from Minneapolis, MN)
- 2008-06-03: 44.957992°, -93.128935° - On St Albans St N between Charles and Edmund Ave, near St Paul (about 1m or 1 miles by car from St Paul, MN)
- Reached - Joel visited there around lunchtime and felt self-conscious hanging around a residential area.
- Also reached by Erica and her cousin Lauren at about 4pm. Lauren took photos.
- 2008-05-30: 44.853102°, -93.244603° - Mall of America, near Bloomington (about 20 minutes or 11 miles by car from Minneapolis, MN)
Erica and her mom are totally taking the excuse to shop. We'll be there sometime in the afternoon/evening.Indication of anyone wanting to meet up will result in a more definite time frame.- UPDATE: Erica's plans fell through. :-( Oh well. Some other time.
- PippaBlue made it to the Sprawl of America and snapped a photo in front of Macy's. Depending on the floor, the actual coordinates seem to have landed somewhere in the middle of men's shirts, the Clinique counter, or luxury bedding.
- Jennifer unknowingly achieved the geohash today by pure and utter luck!
- 2008-05-29: 44.464701°, -93.034125° - Between two farm fields, on the property line, near Northfield, MN (about 33 min or 27.4 miles by car from Rosemount, MN)
- A one-time geohasher Rebecca brought her friend Leigh to this location. Noticing the coordinate was on a property line (marked for zoning), and that neither neighbor was home, they walked between the cornfields to the exact spot in the dirt. Pictures are available but uninteresting.
