| − | It's pretty close to Oneonta Gorge, so I propose we meet at the Gorge and travel upstream as far as we can. I've dragged the marker on the [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?date=2008-07-12&lat=45&long=-123&zoom=11&abs=1 reference implementation] to the proposed Gorge meetup spot. (It's the [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?date=2008-07-12&lat=45&long=-123&zoom=11&abs=1 blue marker].) I'll be there, of course, and I'll be bringing at least one friend. If you come, be prepared to get at least your feet wet (river sandals strongly suggested) and possibly more (slippery rocks in the gorge.) <b>UPDATE</b>: I'm likely going earlier than the official 4pm time, probably showing up at noon or so to explore the gorge early. I'll head back out and be back at the parking area in time for the official meetup, though. Bug repellent may be a good idea; I got gnawed on a bit out there last Sunday.

| − | I'd be up for that. I've never been (nor heard) of this particular hike so I grep'd around for information on it; [http://www.oregon.com/hiking/oneonta_gorge.cfm Oregon.com] seems to have a good description of it. [[User:Jhon|Jhon]] 17:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

| − | It seems someone planned a surprise birthday dinner for my father without informing anyone. So since I'm the only one who had plans, its going ahead as... planned which means I kinda have to be there. As much as I was looking forward to wading into the gorge I'll have to skip out on this one. [[User:Jhon|Jhon]] 17:10, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

| − | [[User:Kpeace|Kpeace]]: Went to the geohash location with a party of four. Nobody else arrived, but since only one of our party knew the others, our trip was still congruous with the spirit of meeting other people from different backgrounds united by a love of XKCD. Our group comprised:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | An 18-year-old recent high school graduate, environmentalist, and gay-rights advocate who is headed for college, probably to study chemistry.
| |
| − | A 13-year-old middle school graduate who enjoys video games and pyrotechnics.
| |
| − | A 38-year-old mad scientist and schemer.
| |
| − | The one who instigated this trip, and would only describe himself as “just this guy, you know?”
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The location was very convenient, right next to an intersection though quite rural. We wrote “XKCD” with sticks on the ground before we left.

| − | [[User:Zac|Zac]]: I was considering it. This isn't my home graticule, so I don't know the area that well. Also, I have nothing else to do. :)

| |
| − | [[User:Jess523s|Jessica]]: Sweet! Possibly see you there. Either way, I think I've got a group of three or so together. If all goes well, we'll be heading out in half of an hour or so. Might be a little late (or absent if Larch Mountain Road turns out to be evil), but eh.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[User:Zac|Zac]]: Almost made it. I got about halfway (It was about a 2 mile hike from the road) before I started to feel a little nauseous and light headed. :( Did you end up making a go at it? How about tomorrow's?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[User:Jess523s|Jessica]]: Eh, we drove as close as we could, but as we were about an hour late, we decided not to travel too far off the main road : \ It was quite pretty in that area, though. Oh, and 6/15's location looks beautiful. A golf course!
