JimmyNZ's Plans
I'm over here for work and can't resist the chance to strike out and get my first geohash on foreign soil. Still working tomorrow, but if the work load is light I'll shoot off and achieve this. Maybe I'll take a few others with me for the ride.
mattyk's Plans
I'm planning on getting out on my first one in a long time, bringing both daughters with me. Depending on where I am with household duties, it could be any time during the day. I will create an enduring hashpoint marker in case I'm there before anyone else.
jishy's Plans
Heading out at about 3pm with my partner and Jezs. Looks easy!
Expedition
mattyk's Expedition
We headed out around 11:30ish and drove and drove and drove, and just before the Haughton River we saw a car parked on a little siding, a guy running across the highway towards someone standing by a fence in a paddock, and a truck pulling out onto the road.
We chucked a U-turn and pulled over, then my non-asleep companion and I trotted over, through a closed but not locked gate, and headed towards the guys near the fence. One asked if we lived there, to which I said something inane like "geohashing," and he introduced himself as JimmyNZ. We shook hands and exchanged brief exclamations that this was the first time we'd ever actually met up with someone at a hash.
Then we snapped a photo, placed my home-made plaque, and headed back to our cars (and my still-sleeping companion who was making full use of the air conditioning.)
