Not that I can make it, but I thought if any of you watching this page might consider a trip to the coast to reach a Globalhash, check out [[Talk:Ocean Shores, Washington#2010-08-03 Globalhash]]. --[[User:Wenslayer|Wenslayer]] 16:43, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I made a bunch of phone calls.  I had friends with boats that wouldn't make it that far out, and friends with boats that
 
weren't up to being put into the water at all due to current repairs.  (But if they had a couple of days....)  Charter companies
 
didn't seem to be too thrilled with going '''today''', and wanted $700-$1000 for the expedition even if they
 
were able to go.  I didn't get around to calling the helicopter folks.  I suppose I could go drive to the shore
 
and declare it a win for Mother Nature.  I don't think I can claim [[My Kingdom for a Boat]] as the water isn't unexpected.  [[User:Jiml|Jiml]] 01:39, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

October Local Hashpoints

Your expedition plans here



Where to plan

With the User:AperfectBot picking up expedition pages, we should move planning to the expedition page as soon as it becomes clear someone might actually go!


Other conversations

We're Quite the Graticule

I believe that, as of today, we've collectively mounted as many Portland graticule Expeditions in 2010 as we did in all of 2009. Throw in all of the McMinnville action and we're a global geohashing hotbed! For what that's worth....  : ) Michael5000 22:45, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

  • You and APR deserve a lot of the credit with your activity. It was pretty much just me for much of 2009! Jiml 09:36, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Older Question re Aug 17

Wil: Anyone know why August 17th is "notable?"

admalledd: No idea.

Unless someone can say why it needs to stay, I'm going to be deleting that section at some point. Also, I'll probably be cleaning up the Daily Locations section by moving all of the text below each date to the YYYY-MM-DD_45_-122 pages RSN. Wil 23:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the cleanup, Wil. Do you know who has the first geohash in this graticule? --Thomcat 15:11, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Thomcat, Drache and NoTerminal had the first geohash in the world, and they had it in this graticule.  :) Wil 16:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I completed my cleanup of the Portland page yesterday. The only thing I noticed that need help with is contacting Erin, who was at the 2008-05-26 geohash and who promised us pictures but never posted any. Wil 16:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Damn you all in Portland for having an active location. I am the only local to ever visit a Eugene location... It is hard to go when you know you will be the only one there. Grr.

It's a shame that none of the recent (and not-so-recent) expeditions have been written up so that the rest of us can enjoy reading about them. (Or did nobody actually go? Several people are listed as expressing interest.) Can I please encourage you all to write something -- anything! -- about your expeditions? Thanks. -- Benjw 17:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I second Benjw's request. Make quickie expedition pages showing whether or not you reached the coordinates, just so that we an count you in the global statistics. -Robyn 17:17, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


To be scrapped Conversations

Sunday, September 19

Any of you Westside guys know if the Nike campus is open for, you know, joggers? Michael5000 07:52, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Doesn't sound like it. We did have a little discussion on the mailing list Jiml 19:56, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
