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.
- 2008-07-13: Two and a half miles from Zingor, and the map made it look like I could just walk on up. Unfortunately, there's actually a giant barbed-wire topped fence preventing that. I guess the State of Florida doesn't want people just wandering around on I-10.
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 attend if the loc' is accessible
- briand is... um, wha?
- mpf might try attending a Saturday meetup sometime.
- James will most likely miss July 5th due to chores. But he'll go on weekdays when he's not working and the spots are close enough.
- zingor will try for Saturday if the spot is close to town.
- deliriousduckie also wants to come to a Saturday meetup someday.
- dirtybastin is always there in spirit.
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)
