Man, geohashing is turning out awesome.

This is poison ivy. As a child, I got many severe cases of it. Learn to recognize it. Note the three smooth-edged, occasionally-notched leaves and slightly shiny appearance.

I live in Boston

Thoughts: I wonder what percentage of Boston graticule is covered in poison ivy. It can't be a particularly large percentage, but it occurs to me that this project would get us perfect data on the matter. A truly random sample, as long as you go to every hash ...

I have been to geohashes in two states.

I have visited 3 geohashes

Lately

I'm so sad I couldn't make it to the Tuesday geohash. It was in an area I've wanted an excuse to visit for years. Oh, well. I'm gonna try for Friday's, assuming it's reachable.
