I like the playing cards as markers idea. But you should list on your user page which cards were left as markers and where. I feel like there is an opportunity to play some sort of card game with that... Two people doing the same thing, treating every five cards like a hand, playing some variant of poker...
Also, you're practically the closest active geohasher to my area, so we're like almost-neighbors! Hi, Neighbor.

I actually was doing that on my page, it just wasn't terribly obvious at first. The 5 right now just links to the one Gainesville hash, but it's hard to see that the 5 is actually a link; plus it needs someone to actually click on it. That'll change in the coming days, if not today.
Really? I'm the closest to Memphis? Hey there, neighbor! Here's hoping there's less farming private property in the future, eh?

Make sure the link points to geohashing.org. I like the idea. :) -- relet 20:20, 19 March 2012 (EDT)
Yeah, I wrote that at the hash and didn't realize my mistake until about ten hours later. Next time! -- DrCanadianNinja 13:01, 20 March 2012 (EDT)

I see the link now. An easy change would be to just make the links bold or underlined.
Yeah, okay, I guess there's some folks in Atlanta? I'll admit, I didn't really look that hard before saying that :/ Whatever, we're still neighbors. And yes, far too much private property, much of which is of the "kinda (really) sketchy" variety...

Well, part of it is that I always mistake Tennessee and Kentucky in my head, so I was thinking a little too far out. Neighbors are still neighbors! -- DrCanadianNinja 13:01, 20 March 2012 (EDT)
TN and KY are pretty much the same, anyway. You can hear the banjos on either side of the state line... -MayorOfBoxTown 15:21, 20 March 2012 (EDT)

Hola! I live in Somerville, MA but have family in Gainesville, so I'll probably poke you if I'm in the area (holidays) and there's a plausible hashpoint. :-) -- Phyzome 17:42, 21 March 2012 (EDT)

Depends on the holiday, unfortunately - Christmas and Thanksgiving, for instance, I might be in Tampa, if not Canada. Still, it'd be interesting to try! -- DrCanadianNinja 14:18, 24 March 2012 (EDT)

Happy birthday!

Hey, I'm going to be in the Jacksonville area in June or early July, let's try to get a meetup together. I'll write back when I get a better idea of my itinerary. -- Jevanyn
