Neatening Up Notable Dates

Notable dates on the main page is getting kind of long. Should we delete the less notable? Move them to a subpage? Leave them be? I think they should go to a subpage before they overwhelm the graticule page. Robyn 05:07, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

So I might drop by the spot tomorrow, not in the exact spot, but in the vicinity of the house, like up front somewhere. I have scrabble. Or I'll just sit in my car and play video games by myself waiting for anybody else to show up. - MegaHurtz

Three of us are making the epic transit trip out, then hiking from around Trinity Western. We won't have games but I'm sure we can figure something out. - Jakke

So you would be getting there about 4:45-5:00 then? - MHz

We can get there roughly any time by transit if we start early enough, using the community shuttle route. So I'd like to aim for 4. Queerasmoi 16:56, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Geohash is in North Delta, south of Mackie Park, in the parking lot of Gray Elementary School. Definitely accessible. Closest buses are 312 (from Scott Road SkyTrain), 301 (from Richmond Centre), 314 (from King George). Queerasmoi 06:19, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

If the weather isn't to terribly bad i will be in attendance. I will try to be there at the standard 16:00 meet time. Garyuuko 23:52, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Trying for it, by bike or transit, haven't decided yet. Robyn 07:11, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

The geohash is on the train tracks just east of Braid SkyTrain Station, a few metres south of the Brunette Avenue / Highway 1 eastbound on-ramp.

There are no sidewalks on the on-ramp, which means pedestrian access might be dangerous; and the rail lines themselves are almost certainly private property. However, just south of the geohash is what looks like an access road to the Eaglequest Coquitlam golf course. If this road is accessible to the public, we should be able to get within 10-20 metres of the geohash point.

And there's mini golf nearby. Osmie 21:45, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

The hash point is in someones backyard, right in White Rock. We can meet outside their house, right at the intersection of 10A Ave. and 160S Street, and then decide if it's worth knocking and checking out their back porch. I'm not sure about transit out there, but I'll be biking from Richmond and as usual I'll supply the Nibs!Thepiguy 16:57, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

I've just been screwed over by FedEx, and have to go pick up a package tomorrow. I may not be able to make it to the hash.Thepiguy 02:57, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Too bad you can't make them deliver it to the geohash. -Robyn 03:13, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
