Plans

I have been reading about retro hashes on the wiki, and discovered this site were you can search for retro hashes since 1950. Out of curiosity, I looked how much is the closest a hash has fallen from home, and saw this one. Since I was looking for it last week, and this hash fell on a June 9th, I thought I could try my first retro hash on this occasion. As a kind of anniversary for this random occasion. Actually, it was on 1990, I was not even born.

Expedition on 2019-06-09

What can you say about an expedition 55m from home? I almost forgot I wanted to try this, so in the afternoon, after seeing the finals of Roland Garros (I had nothing better to do), I went with my GPS to the coordinates. That's it. It is the street I walk every day, nothing new to see here.

After thoughts

Retro hashes have nothing to do with regular geohashing. There is no spontaneity, which I love on geohashing. I can understand, and would probably even try to go searching for my origin hash (day and graticule I was born). Maybe other significant dates, or geohashing Day if the hash falls in an impossible area. But otherwise, well, maybe for some special location, but... yeah, regular geohashing is more fun ;)

  Right on the door you see behind the red car is where the hash fell.
