I'm Anthony. I live in Alameda, California, which is near San Francisco, California.

I will only intermittently make attempts to reach geohash points.

I think that the one-degree-square boxen should be called "quadrangles", like the USGS has been calling them forever.

Geohash attempts

Anthony and daughter at the 2008-06-30 37 -122 spot

Successful

2008-06-30 37 -122 (San Francisco Quadrangle) - this is not the nearest it's ever been to my house, but it's the nearest that's been on dry land. And on a sidewalk by a shopping center - super-convenient. See my flickr photos. KMZ file available here.

Unsuccessful

I made my first attempt at a geohash on 2008-06-20, but was unable to reach the site, due to lack of trail and unwillingness to attempt cross-country through the poison oak. A Google Earth kmz file of my attempt is available here.

I drove past the San José location for 2008-06-25 on my way home, but didn't have time to find a good place to park along Stanley Boulevard, or a good way to take pictures of the site and my GPS while whizzing by at 50+ mph.

Miscellany

Anthony earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (37, -122) geohash on 2008-06-30.
