Geohashing
Exploring, photography, meetups, and occasionally tailgate LAN parties.
What is this?
This wiki documents a system of meetups and explorations based around the coordinates in xkcd #426.
Every day, the algorithm generates a new set of coordinates for every region. They are randomly placed -- they could be in the forest, in a city, or on a mountain. You can use this wiki to document the coordinates (geohashes) you've been to.
If you go on Saturday afternoons, you might encounter other xkcd readers. Bring games!
Official Meetup
The official xkcd meetups happen Saturday afternoon, starting at 3:00 PM. If the coordinates for your area are in the ocean, a military base, or somewhere otherwise unreachable, that meetup is of course postponed. If you can, record who's there, take pictures, and post them here.
Guidelines
A sample coordinate calculator can be found here: [1]
Group meetups are Saturday at 3:00 PM on days when the coordinate is reachable (i.e. not on the open sea). Later we can all go for dinner.
When the coordinate falls somewhere dangerous or illegal to reach, use your judgment. If the hotspot is in an obviously unreachable place, the setup meeting is called off.
