While my first time and cooler achievements will remain on my main user page, I thought I'd create a page to log all of my achievements. What can I say? I like the little ribbons! So thank you to everyone who created them. The achievements below are listed roughly in order of either coolness or numerosity.
Cool Achievements
Cold Geohash
I have earned the Cold Geohash 1 time. Living where I do, maybe next winter I'll garner this achievement once again at an even lower temperature!
Repetitive Geohashing
Consecutive Geohashes
I have earned the Consecutive Geohash 1 time. I'll likely grab a few more of these, because clearly I like to geohash in my spare time!
Multihash
I have earned the Multihash 2 times. Sometimes I'm feeling really gung ho, and other times the geohashing gods are smiling on me when they bestow their coordinates upon us and I can't help but to go more than one place. I'm eying at least another one of these sometime in the future on a Saturday going up and down lower Michigan's west coast.
Regional Geohashing

Minesweeper Geohashes
Counting Minesweeper Geohashes turns out to be rather awkward. I'll post all that I have here, but I've made myself a standard that I won't post any of these on my front page until I've reached at least a Level 5 Minesweeper.
Level 4
Level 3
Level 2
Level 1
Virgin Geohashes
I always get a good feeling geohashing a graticule that's never been hashed in before. Not only am I someplace random seeing something that's probably new to me, but I'm seeing it in a place that's new to the sport!
Outright Virgin Geohashes
I have earned the Virgin Geohash outright 6 times.

Upgraded Virgin Geohash
I have earned the upgraded Virgin Geohash 1 time. Sometimes someone claims to have geohashed in a graticule, but they don't really have the proof. Then I come along, and I get the proof.

Normal Achievements
Public Transport Geohashes
I have earned the Public Transport Geohash 1 time. The public bus system where I live is pretty nice for a community of its size, but it's pretty inefficient travel if you have to transfer, especially if you must do so more than once. Given the limited range and the time constraints of the bus system, I will probably earn this ribbon fairly rarely while I live here.
Speed Racer Geohashes
I have earned the Speed Racer Geohash 4times. I love driving, and I don't get to do it as much as I used to. So I enjoy these geohashes more than most. Considered lazy geohashing by some, it still allows me to get out and see what's around, which is a big part of why I geohash!
Frozen Geohashes
I have earned the Frozen Geohash 7 times. Let's face it: I live in Michigan. I'm probably going to earn quite a few of these if I decide to geohash at all between October and April!
Ambassador Geohashes
I have earned the Ambassador Geohash 3 times. If the hash is not in a public place and there are houses near the hash, I always try to earn this achievement before proceeding to the hash. If there is a no trespassing sign posted, I'll always give asking for permission a shot. If they say "no" or aren't there, I leave. If they say "yes", I geohash!
Land Geohashes
I have earned the Land Geohash 27 times. Thus far, every geohash I have completed has been a land geohash. I hope to change that at some point. The facts that I don't own a boat, have never been much of a mariner, and don't see myself ever learning to fly seem to point to the land geohash streak never ending. That said, I do live in Michigan for the time being, so there's water everywhere, and maybe I can catch a hash just offshore at some point!
Consolation Prizes
Mother Nature's Bitch
My Kingdom for a Boat
I have earned the My Kingdom for a Boat Consolation Prize 1 time. The satellite images are somewhat reliable, but not always. This is particularly true when you're geohashing away from home and don't know there's been a flood.
There Might be Alligators!
I have earned the There Might be Alligators! Consolation Prize 1 time. I must admit I don't own waders. Nor do I like mosquitoes. Maybe those things will change, but I'm not holding my breath.
No Trespassing
I have earned the No Trespassing Consolation Prize 6 times. Sometimes people are scared and say "What? No, you can't stand there and take a picture!" Sometimes they aren't home. Sometimes it just doesn't work out. Oh well.
