Hey, did you ever go out to this geohash? I moved the page into "expedition planning", I was curious if you went out or not -- Jevanyn (talk) 09:55, 6 March 2015 (EST)

No, I did not go. Thanks for moving it. OfficeLinebacker (talk) 10:10, 6 March 2015 (EST)

You're on Fire!

It's great to see you so active lately; you're giving us a lot of adventures to read. I'll have to visit your area if we ever get out of sudo-quarantine when I'm traveling to see my brother in NC. I've got a friend in Southern MD as well. Pedalpusher (talk) 02:10, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, man! Pedalpusher Yeah it's been fun now that there's no traffic and work has cut my hours. I also bought a new sportscar last year and bought some hiking boots. Unfortunately sometimes I can't do the really epic ones (the ones that require 1.5-2h of driving AND a good 1-2 hours outside the car hiking in the fores) on weekdays, but I think if I could do every geohash I'm interested in I would get bored of it.

If I'm honest I don't think I'll keep doing it when things go back to normal. I will look back on this time as some of the best times of my life, exploring the splendid outdoors and making a silver lining of this quarantine stuff. Once traffic is back, I'll be spending more time in the gym rather than geohashing (the gym does have an outdoor deck so I will still get some fresh air).

Having said all that, if you want to hook up on one of your NC travels, LMK, when other people are involved it's always a lot more interesting. --OfficeLinebacker (talk)

Sunday and Monday

Last Sunday, 2020-04-19, you created two pages. You clearly reached 2020-04-19 40 -77, but before that, you said you were going to attempt 2020-04-19 39 -78. Is it possible that you intended to post that info to 2020-04-19 40 -77, or did you really attempt two Geohashes on Sunday? --Fippe (talk) 16:42, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi there! I did indeed want to go to 2020-04-19 39 -78 but the first one slaked my thirst and I abandoned plans for the second one. I think there was some debate in my head as far as the sequence, and I ended up going on the opposite order then giving up before going to the next one. --OfficeLinebacker (talk)

On the next day, after reaching 2020-04-20 38 -78, you said you were going to attempt 2020-04-20 38 -78 or "at least explore the area" since it was getting dark. Did your plans work out? --Fippe (talk) 16:42, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

On the second one, I did indeed go to the area, but the area had zero cell phone reception. I tried two roads but each one only got me within a couple of miles, and as you can see, the area is densely forested. With no cell phone reception, fading light, no obvious non-trepassing paths, and being in an area with plenty of guns, I figured the prudent course of action was to demur. I usually upload photos from the Geohash droid app as I go, and I simply forgot. Also my app is now crashing a lot so I can't update the wiki any more. Thanks for looking out Fippe --OfficeLinebacker (talk)

Thank you for the information! --Fippe (talk) 13:12, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
