Daily Locations

February 19: The geohash is just into the trees along a power-line right-of-way, between Greenbrook Rd and Mountain View Terrace in Green Brook, Somerset County.

Attempted geohashes

• Wednesday, February 18, 2008
  • Someone's front yard in White House Station, New Jersey. Brandon dragged his father along despite the freezing rain for their first geohash.
• Saturday, February 14, 2009
  • The geohash was in a house in Nutley. Jevanyn made a lolhouse, and someone suggested a meetup at the nearest corner. Did anyone go?

• Saturday, January 31, 2009
  • A new geohasher, RminusQ, does the Speed Racer thing on a suburban street in Oakland.

• Saturday, January 17, 2009
  • A geohashing-inspired location for an annual nature hike.

• Saturday, December 6, 2008
  • Jevanyn passed within 100 feet of the geohash while travelling on Interstate 78.

• Sunday, September 7, 2008
  • Stopped in Earle on the way home from visiting Cape May. Side of Route 33 featured No Tresspassing signs and poison ivy. Took pictures and picked up trash. Uncovered triceratops abuse; called ASPCA. Pictures to come.

• Saturday, August 16, 2008
  • Field near Plainsboro. Zubenelgenubi followed the "visitors" signs on the Black Rock lot before veering down a semi-public-looking abandoned roadway until a security guard arrived. Does not qualify as a Police Geohash as this was just an amiable rent-a-cop. No proof. (start here)

• Saturday, July 26, 2008
  • Sandburg Drive, Marlboro. Jevanyn and Zubenelgenubi made the geohash on a residential street, allowing them to mark the spot and Zubenelgenubi claims an uncommon Speed Racer geohash on a bicycle.

• Friday, July 4, 2008
  • In the woods of Spring Hill Road, Amwell. Not a good place to view fireworks ;-) Zubenelgenubi made this geohash by bicycle, and uploaded a photo.

• Monday, June 30, 2008
  • 17 Cornell St, West Orange. A lovely split-level, very close to Francis Byrne Golf Course - but it would take an intentional Bad Shot to achieve the Golf Geohash here. Science_Works! was there for a meetup of one(?)

• Saturday, June 28, 2008
  • Brightwood Avenue, Westfield. Near Watchung Reservation. Jevanyn was there with two drag-alongs.

• Monday, June 16, 2008
  • Northbound Garden State Parkway past exit 116, off the shoulder after the Holmdel Rd. overpass. LangleyLGLF was there and received the Speed Racer Achievement.

• Friday, June 13, 2008
  • Forest Hill Rd, Staten Island, New York. There may have been a meetup at the Staten Island Mall, but no claim has been made yet. (start here)

• Thursday, June 12, 2008
  • US 206, Hillsborough. Jevanyn has claimed a Cubicle Geohash honorable mention, but has not yet provided proof. (start here).

• Sunday, June 1, 2008
  • A backyard in Denville. trntr claims he was there, but has not yet provided proof. (start here).
