The city of Madison is the hub of the 43, -89 graticule, but the region covers mostly the area to the north. Madison residents should also consider geohashes in the Rockford graticule to the south.

This graticule has a (relatively moribund) Facebook group: Geohashing - Madison, WI. Plans are more likely to be posted here than there, but if you write something there, it will be seen.

Active Hashers

Bill Minser
Info: Systems Programmer at UW-Madison. Really I live in (42, -89) but I long for the north.
starbird
Info: Madison-based computer scientist and backgammon consultant, or vice versa. Spends a lot of time in Tokyo.

Bill and starbird usually go hashing together, generally accompanied by Bill's daughter, The Adjectival Toddler. As far as they know, they're the only active geohashers in the Madison area. They always go for pie after hashing, so please join them! You can have pie, too.

Former Greats

Dan Simanek
Info: Student at UW-Madison, will try to make it to coordinates within biking distance of the campus.
Tom Schaffer
Info: Student at UW-Madison, outdoor enthusiast, and Pirate Extraordinaire. I will try to make it to coordinates in this and surrounding graticules accessible by boat.
