Today's Geohash: Crestview, FL]


The Crestview, FL graticule is located at latitude 30 N, longitude 86 W.

Click on the "Discussion" tab for a chronicle of geohashing in this graticule.

PLEASE be respectful of the land use regulations! Large sections of Eglin Air Force Base are off limits to the public and the rest of the Eglin ranges are open only to people who have permits to go onto them. A permit may be purchased at Jackson Guard, State Highway 85, Niceville, Florida for $10 and is good through September 30. If you trespass on the Eglin ranges without a permit, you will (1) get yourself a ticket, (2) make life more difficult for other geohashers who have permits, and (3) possibly trip over an unexploded bomb and blow yourself up.

Out of respect for our geohashers who work from 7:30 to 4:30 on a regular basis, the default meet-up time for this graticule is moved to 5:00 PM from the customary 4:00 PM.

Meetup Locations

Thursday 01 April - Looks very easy at first. On a civilized part of Eglin Air Force Base ... except that a closer look reveals that it is between two operating runways on an active Air Force flightline. The Security Police do not like suspicious people--by which I mean "people"--hanging around there.

Wednesday 05 May - Another "so near and yet so far." Anybody who lives in the Fort Walton Beach area and works at Eglin in the development section probably drove right past the meet-up location, and anybody taking off or landing on a commercial flight came within a few hundred feet of it. But to get out and meet there? It helps if you like to kiss concrete and want to spend the next part of your life answering questions from the Air Force Security Police. Not for me.

Tuesday 11 May - Looks very easy just off of Mare Creek Road near Mossy Head.






Notable Dates

February 2009 - Crestview tied Seattle WA as the WORLDS second most successful graticule, beaten only by Atlanta GA


2008-06-29 - The first (that I know of) successful geohash trip in this graticule.
