Marissa lives in the southwest corner, but would come by on Saturdays for places within reasonable driving distance.

Katie is stoked for Spring and good geohashing weather! She works til 5:30 on Saturdays, but is going to try on Saturday evenings and/or Sunday afternoons.

josh would love to go geohashing. He lives near the border between DC and Maryland. He is also jewish like jared and as a result would find trouble doing things on Saturday.

Cordelya lives in Churchville, MD (and works in an entirely different graticule). She works on weekends, and hopes to do some geohashing in the Baltimore area on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

Andrew would love to geohash on Sundays, anywhere within an hour of pikesville.
Nate is still learning about geohashing and went to a location on March 17, 2011 and was sad to not meet anyone there. Are people still active? Is there any way of knowing if people are actually showing up? Or is it all a gamble?
