Location
- In the Evansville, Indiana graticule, (near Hartford Kentucky).
- This hashpoint was .25 of a mile in to the woods of a rock quary
Participants
NWoodruff
- Coordinates Reached! My Second Global Geohash. I am the most active GlobalHasher.
Sitting at my desk at work, most times, I start eyeing my email at about 9:35am. My email notify program usually sends out mail between 9:37 and 9:40am. If you haven't tried it, you should. It is at http://xkcd.nathanwoodruff.com/Notify.aspx The email popped up and I was hoping that there would be a Saturday Geohash that would be reachable.
On Fridays, I usually get about 1 or 2 locations sent to me that are close by. This email had 3 locations listed in it. I thought... Wow.. Lucky, I'll be able to geohash every day this weekend. Fridays Geohash was only 5 miles from my house. Saturdays Geohash was a little farther at 21 miles. Still acceptable. I then looked at Sundays geohash and it said 28.1 miles away. I though strange that I had set the notification at less than 25 miles. I thought that there must be something wrong with the program and I would look at it when I got home.
I then took another glance at it and notice something wrong. There was no period in the number. The number was 281 miles. How could that be???? I took a look at the link. For local Geohashes I provide a link to carabineer map. But for Global Hashes I provide a link to Google maps. I quickly looked at the link, it was a google maps link. I said "No way". I quickly clicked on the link hoping that it wouldn't be in the Atlantic Ocean.
Kentucky... I was in business. I didn't have anything to do on Sunday either. I quickly zoomed to the global hash spot. There are roads near by. It looks like a trek into the woods of about .25 of a mile but that should be fine. I decide that instead of driving my own truck, I would rent a car that got great gas mileage and I would have to do that Saturday morning.
