The Sacramento, California graticule is located at latitude 38, longitude -121. This is a pretty well situated graticule as it contains all of Sacramento county, most of Yolo and Solano counties, some of Sutter, Placer, Contra Costa, and San Joaquin counties, and a few tiny bits of surrounding counties. Lots of flat farmland in the middle, which isn't that interesting, but there are some cool forests, hills and river areas around the edges if we get lucky.

  • 2008-09-01 38 -121 -- Geohash is just outside a business plaza campus near Folsom. The last geohash that landed in an empty business park was fun. This time, there will be board games. Meet will be at 4:00 PM unless someone thinks of a better time.
  • 2008-10-02 38 -121 -- Geohash was in the Roseville HP parking lot. ClintonOddfellow and dshigure went and met up with a couple of friends, who were first-time hashers. Geohash was in Andy's usual parking space at HP.

  • 2012-06-11 38 -121 -- First successful geohash in more than 3 years! It was in a field just east of 113 and south of CR 25 (take CR 100A until it ends then continue down).
  • 2012-07-26 38 -121 -- I can't go today, but this is a nice easy one for Davisites! Right across the street from the Alice Street Palace!

  • 2012-11-16 38 -121 -- This one's on a farm but close to a cool weather radar. Thwarted: too rainy, did not go.
  • 2012-11-27 38 -121 -- residential area in midtown - I'll try to go. (It's my first time.)
  • 2013-01-15 38 -121 -- Chandru and a friend try to reach a hash at an abandoned university. But there is a barbed wire fence.
  • 2013-02-23 38 -121 -- Strawberry stand in Lincoln, CA. I got as close as I could, within .00001 degrees, but the exact hashpoint was on the other side of a fence, on private property, with dogs and horses, in shotgun country. I did not proceed past the fence. -Lucky91xj
  • 2013-04-21 38 -121 -- Succeeded! Nice, quiet green corner in the city. -Lucky91xj
  • 2013-05-14 38 -121 -- Lucky91xj and husband got within 500 ft, but no trespassing.
  • 2014-02-12 38 -121 -- Attempted first expedition of 2014 here, but couldn't convince a homeowner to let me head back to the hash. Got within a few dozen feet.
  • 2015-06-12 38 -121 -- Across the street from the North Sacramento Kaiser hospital

  • 2016-07-10 38 -121 -- On Route 35 near a solar farm south of Davis

BTW is anyone here still geohashing? Hit me up we should do something together! It's a lot of fun and great exercise. I find this better than running around in circles at the ARC.

Considered geohashes

Hey, should we start an email list or something? Most of our geohash locations are shitty amounts of out of the way. It might be good to be able to email the rest of us when there's one in a good location. It's kindof hard to run into people on random Saturdays without some kind of organization. Any thoughts? -Nak

  • 2009-09-26 -- Not sure if I'll be free, but if I am I might drive out since it's by Woodland again. -Nak
  • 2009-09-19 -- It's not far out by Woodland. I'm going to try to go tomorrow -Nak
  • 2008-09-26 -- Geohash is next to the Westfield downtown. It's a friday night, but in a neat location.
  • 2012-08-02 -- Geohash is smack in the middle of the taxiway at Sacramento Executive Airport.
