geoSquishy

35 / m / 33,-84

Hello. We are actually a geohashing team composed of two brothers from Orange Park, Florida. The one brother is Chris, a student at Georgia Tech who currently lives on campus in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The other brother, Nick, is a student at Georgia State University and he also lives in university housing. Being brothers and living in such proximity, (and having only one car between us) we make one hell of a geohashing duo.

There exists also a third brother; Mr. Bow Tie.

Geohashes We've scouted

	2009-01-22 - Unquestionably our most incredible geohash to date. Bicycle Ambassador hash attempt.
	2009-01-18 - A hash just off interstate, on a dirt road. This was our first attempt with GPS, so we didn't have to rely on street references.
	2009-01-16 - This hash fell right into place, on one of the coldest days of the year, and offered the opportunity to accomplish something fairly rare this far south; the elusive Frozen geohash.
	2009-01-11 - We found someone! The first meetup of the Atlanta graticule, at a hashpoint located in a vacant lot in a neighborhood northeast of town.
	2009-01-09 - This geohash was located just inside of a liquor store. The end result of this geohashing expedition has to be good.
	2009-01-08 - Checked the hash between classes, and it looked just close enough to accomplish in the hour and a half that we had. Our first no batteries and speed racer geohashes.
	2009-01-02 - Found the hashpoint to be about 6 miles away, in a residential subdivision. The actual hashpoint was located inside of a house.
	2009-01-01 - Achieved our first geohash on New Years Day! The point was near Pritchard Road on the West side, located near a set of railroad tracks.

Goals

We'd like to achieve our Origin and Displaced Origin hashes. As we are not twins, and were in fact born years apart, is it a fantastic stroke of luck that our origin hashes are only a few hundred yards from each other.

Nick's fantastic artistry.

We're keeping our eyes out for closer hashes that can hold the opportunities for Walk, Public Transport and Bicycle geohashes.

We'd like to complete a Reverse Regional Achievement for the Jacksonville, FL and Atlanta, Ga graticules.

For Jacksonville, this will require hashes in the Florida counties of Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns, as well as hashes in Charlton and Camden counties in Georgia.

For Atlanta, this'll take Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb, Clayton, Paulding, Polk, Carroll, Douglas, Heard, Troup, Meriwether, Coweta, Pike, Lamar, Monroe, Butts, Spaulding, Henry, Newton, Fayette, Gwinnett, and Rockdale counties. This could take a while…
