2009 Meetups

Geohashing Day

So what shall we do for Geohashing Day? How will we as a graticule go above and beyond our usual zaniness to commemorate this special occasion? Ideas on the day's talk page.

Hey, I thought I already edited this. It's doable today, via Horseshoe Bay-Bowen ferry, bike to the spit nearest Gambier, kayak to point. But I don't really really want to do it. I don't want a wet kayak for Geohashing Day. Am I a lazy-assed whiner who should go do it? -Robyn 16:20, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Personally I'm doing chores today, and preparing for tomorrow. I don't think wet kayak is a huge issue; it doesn't have to be dry before using it again, only before storing it. Besides, we just did a hash point close to there, but from the other direction. -- Rhonda 16:53, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, we did. It's the first time I've left a point unpursued when I knew I could get it. It calls to me. But I have earplugs. -Robyn 17:12, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

It's a boat hash, transit accessible if you have a portable boat.

Saturday in Garibaldi needs to wait for more snow to melt, so I'm going to Bellingham. -Robyn 17:31, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

2009-04-25

It's on Gambier Island, right where I went to summer camp, and I still know someone who could give us permission to go ashore there. I have a social event I have to be back in Vancouver for at 7 p.m. Anyone interested in renting a motor boat? -Robyn 22:25, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

As long as it doesn't involve riding a bike uphill. -- Rhonda 00:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Anvil Island - Robyn will be arriving at Porteau Cove about 1:30 pm to launch her kayak for this expedition. Other boats welcome.

Damn! I'm in class today! Booo! Have extra fun for me! And be safe! Thepiguy 17:25, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Once again, I was the first to meet a cool new Vancouver geohasher. She is even crazier than me, and she has one success now, but no land geohash ribbon! Five and a half hours in an inflatable kayak. Booyah! -Robyn

2009-03-09

King Ed and Knight! MylSh and Thepiguy will be arriving via transit at approximately 6:00 +/- error in transit with snow. Putting that extra hour to good use!

06:00 or 18:00? -Robyn 17:42, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Now, if I were living in Vancouver I could qualify for a deja vu hash. My husband and I drove by there several times last summer :( --Meghan 18:09, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

But do you have proof? We'll dedicate the geohash to you, Meghan. What song shall we sing in your honour? -Robyn 18:19, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

You make me smile. No song necessary. Looking at the weather report you should have some excellent snow for sculpting :D --Meghan 18:40, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Now that I think of it, you can build a snowman named Meghan. That'll probably be the only way I can hash until I get lucky. --Meghan 19:56, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

We shall all build snowmeghans! Thepiguy 23:44, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

2009-01-31

hey...the vancouver and surrey ones are pretty bleh, but i'm gonna attempt the bellingham hash today with a few people. be there or be trapezoidal ;) Twilightcity 18:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

2009-01-24

Bowen Island! Be there or be square! Thepiguy 04:07, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh man, we were going to go to Hope. Now I can't decide. -Robyn 04:25, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't think I'm going to be able to even make Bowen tomorrow, something came up. Take lot's of pictures in hope! Thepiguy 06:03, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure which one I'm getting to yet. -Robyn 06:14, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Ha! First-time hashers...and we did it the old fashioned way...by asking folks where to go! Who'd have thunk it would be in the middle of a freakin' LLAMA PASTURE??? --Twilightcity 03:34, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Ha ha ha, anyone who didn't go missed out! This was a good one! -Robyn 04:55, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

2009-01-17

I'll be there at 4:00 (probably earlier), will you? Thepiguy 03:07, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

When we have 100 geohashers in the graticule

When we have 100 geohashers in the graticule, we are so doing this. Party and games all the way to the geohash and all the way back. And no riding uphill! I'm sure we could get the captain to sail to and circle around a random set of coordinates. -Robyn 01:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

2008 Talk

Talk about 2008 expeditions moved to its own page to reduce clutter.

Notable Dates

I propose moving all information pertaining to where to meet up if it has not been decided to the discussion page to keep the main page clean looking. --Nigma 15:37, 24 May 2008

I somewhat agree there. The problem is that not everybody checks the discussion page, so they won't necessarily see that. I'm thinking maybe just leaving the upcoming and most recent event or two on the main page and the discussion of them here? I'm going to try a few changes to aim towards something like that. --Srs0 23:20, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Our Record

Has there ever been a non-attended road-accessible geohash in this graticule? -Robyn 16:26, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Nanaimo

We need a Nanaimo geohasher to get the low hanging fruit on the Vancouver Island side without having a two hour ferry ride. Anyone know anyone in Nanaimo they can recruit? -Robyn 19:13, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
