Half-Hearted Weekday Attempts
- 2008-06-23: This was within 5 miles of his house, and he wasn't working, so James arrived in Deer Lake just after 4:00 PM for the (first?) weekday geohash. Unfortunately, it turned out to be located within a fenced-in wastewater treatment plant. So even though he breached the outer perimeter, he only got within 300 feet of the spot before a more secure fence turned him away. And since he failed to actually reach the hashpoint, he didn't take any pictures. Oh, and once again it started raining as soon as he left. So, not a successful outing. But he did enjoy the strange looks directed his way.
Notable Dates
- 2008-06-07 : This one was fun! Check out the meet-up page for details & pictures!
- 2008-06-14 : James went there, and had a sweaty good time.
- 2008-06-21 : zingor and briand met there and stood in a cloud of tenacious pests.
Local Geohashers
- branwen will be at the Rolla' Derby this weekend
- briand will be participating in ARRL Field Day next weekend, and will only make it to the geohash if the DOW magically places it at that location.
- mpf might try attending a Saturday meetup sometime.
- James is almost sure to be at Saturday's meet, as long as chores don't get in the way. He'll also go on weekdays when he's not working and the spots are close enough.
- zingor will be working next Saturday, and is hoping the DOW puts the little dot at Lake Ella.
Geodashing Spot
I just found this page that shows a Geodashing spot to be visited in the month of June, 2008! Now we have a backup for inaccessible Saturday meetups, at least this month. --05:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
