 Fri 26 May 1896 in Hannover: 52.5240543, 9.8340160 osm google |
Location
The geohash is located on a field next to a forest near Burgwedel.
Participants
Plans
The Dow Jones Industrial Average did not always exist, so I wanted to reach the coordinates of the first possible geohash.
According to this “fact sheet” published by S&P, the DJIA was first calculated on 1896-05-26. It also states that it's “Base Value” was 40.94, which might be it's closing value on that date, but I think it was the opening, since it seems to be the first recorded value. Anyway, I did the following calculations:
$ echo -n 1896-05-26-40.94 | md5sum 86286db8ec312754d58213752e58db41 -
Note that the 30W Time Zone Rule rule does not apply here, because this is a retrohash.
0.86286db8ec31275416 = 0.52405439152443432826100.d58213752e58db4116 = 0.8340160523497134777610- Destination:
52.52405439152443432826, 9.83401605234971347776
Unfortunately, this hash seems to be too retro, so {{meetup graticule}} did not work properly. If you want to have an aerial view, you can take a look at it on Google Maps, though.
I plan to visit this retrohash on 2015-05-27, which is a day after the 219th anniversary of the first DJIA opening.
Expedition
It worked out. I walked there by foot from the train station in Großburgwedel, which is a couple of kilometers, but it was worth it. The Geohash itself is located in a field of Barley.
Photos
Proof that I am at the right spot for 1896-05-26, but far away from 2015-05-27
