I won't be free to hash this weekend, but Sunday in the Eugene graticule is on one end of the Buena Vista ferry -- might be a nice drive in the country for someone....  [[User:Michael5000|Michael5000]] 22:03, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

The hashpoint in [[The Dalles, Oregon]] seems to actually be reachable for once, AND I have the day off.  I am strongly considering going, since it is one of those things on my TODO list. --[[User:Aperfectring|aperfectring]] 18:41, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

==Winter meetup time==
 
I propose that we, like many of our other fellow northern graticules, set an earlier default meetup time for the winter.  I would suggest 2PM, from Oct. 1 through the March 15.  This will be at least 2 hours before sunset for all dates, allowing some more ambitious wilderness geohashes to be attempted. --[[User:Aperfectring|aperfectring]] 18:50, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 
:For me, that will only make a difference on weekends, as weekdays even 4PM is pretty much out of play. Sounds like a good plan. [[User:Jiml|Jiml]] 00:22, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

March Local Hashpoints

Your expedition plans here

Where to plan

With the User:AperfectBot picking up expedition pages, we should move planning to the expedition page as soon as it becomes clear someone might actually go!


Other conversations

Wil: Anyone know why August 17th is "notable?"

admalledd: No idea.

Unless someone can say why it needs to stay, I'm going to be deleting that section at some point. Also, I'll probably be cleaning up the Daily Locations section by moving all of the text below each date to the YYYY-MM-DD_45_-122 pages RSN. Wil 23:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the cleanup, Wil. Do you know who has the first geohash in this graticule? --Thomcat 15:11, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Thomcat, Drache and NoTerminal had the first geohash in the world, and they had it in this graticule.  :) Wil 16:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I completed my cleanup of the Portland page yesterday. The only thing I noticed that need help with is contacting Erin, who was at the 2008-05-26 geohash and who promised us pictures but never posted any. Wil 16:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Damn you all in Portland for having an active location. I am the only local to ever visit a Eugene location... It is hard to go when you know you will be the only one there. Grr.

It's a shame that none of the recent (and not-so-recent) expeditions have been written up so that the rest of us can enjoy reading about them. (Or did nobody actually go? Several people are listed as expressing interest.) Can I please encourage you all to write something -- anything! -- about your expeditions? Thanks. -- Benjw 17:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I second Benjw's request. Make quickie expedition pages showing whether or not you reached the coordinates, just so that we an count you in the global statistics. -Robyn 17:17, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
