From Geohashing
Revision as of 20:07, 30 December 2008 by imported>Robyn (Got that linky thing wrong.)

This is the place to link to amazing geohashing achievements, hilariously described catastrophes or otherwise cool adventures that people might not otherwise hear about. They don't have to be the first one-legged unicycle ascent of Mount Everest. Just a story that you think deserves a wider audience. You can also help to nag the people for more details on their tantalizing adventures. If you know of a story that is at least as good as these, then please link it in, most recent at the top.
