Hello, Slashdot. This whole thing is a bit overblown -- everything is okay.

Geohashing is not about trespassing or getting into dangerous situations. The groups organize, stay in public spaces, and pick alternate locations when the random coordinates are somewhere problematic. To learn more, check out the Main Page.

Note: Discussion belongs on the Talk page, not here.

Disclaimer: When any coordinates generated by the Geohashing algorithm fall within a dangerous area, are inaccessible, or would require illegal trespass, DO NOT attempt to reach them. Please research each potential location before attempting to access it. You are expected to use proper judgment in all cases and are solely responsible for your own actions. See more guidelines.

(Put here for easy visibility: can people who took photos either put them up or at least send a link to the mailing list? Thanks! --Darcy)

Who Was There

The group at the hash point

About twelve people from five or six different groups showed up in the end, ranging from Berkeley grad students to NASA summer-interns to college kids home for the summer, plus a variety of other sorts in between.

In attendance were:

• Darcy
• Patrick
• Youhas
• Ruth
• Bryan
• Ruth's brother (Daniel?)
• Joe
• Katy
• Andrew
• Mike
• Alex
• Dave (guy with the tripod and the lack of traction on the hillside)
• Zigdon (who apparently left before any of the rest of you showed up)
• Jakobo (got there way late minus FRS, minus camera and missed everyone)

Who's Coming?

• Jakobo Will be there with Kender. Look for a medium height guy and a short skinny girl (who will likely be wearing a stuffed panda on her head). (Update: I'll be there late (like 5/6p?), as my company announced "mandatory" softball practice to lessen our sucking before our next game.)
• Darcy will probably be there, unless something comes up around here.
• Youhas says: I'll see if I can't make it, too. Prior engagements bookending the event suggest that I'll have to both show up moderately late and scram in relatively short order, but will give things a crack all the same. Look for the scruffy doughy twentysomething in cargo pants and gratuitous xkcd shirt.
• zigdon is here early, drove up the road to get a signal. I'll swing by at 4pm though, to see who shows up.
• If anyone's there and is checking the Wiki, please wait around for about 15 minutes, or leave a sign directing latecomers. I'm on my way now.
