From Geohashing
Revision as of 21:20, 6 June 2010 by imported>Wenslayer (Add link for Geohash reached today.)
I live in the Victoria, British Columbia graticule. I appreciate the randomness and surprise of possible adventures that Geohashing provides.

Various links of interest.

Geohashes Attempted

I've listed the most recent first:

  • 2010-06-06 48 -123 (Victoria, BC: few blocks from Mackenzie & Shelbourne): SUCCESS, in the rain again.
  • 2010-04-01 48 -123 (Victoria, BC: just off Millstream Rd): SUCCESS, despite the rain.
  • 2009-08-08 48 -123 (Victoria, BC: near Butchart Gardens): SUCCESS, right at the entrance to Benvenuto B&B.
  • 2009-06-22 48 -123 (Victoria, BC: Cole Bay): thwarted due to time constraints (would have waded 8m into the ocean to get the point otherwise).
  • 2009-06-13 48 -123 (Victoria, BC: William Head Institute): thwarted by private property (correctional officers wouldn't let me in for some reason :-)
