Completed Geohashes

• 2008-05-31: 45.037487°, -93.281267° - Between the west bank of the Mississippi and a water treatment plant, near Minneapolis, MN (about 5 min or 1 mile by car from Minneapolis, MN)

Successful attempt. Joel made it to the spot at 4pm but there was no one there. Very cool that it was a spot close to the city on a Saturday, but a pretty difficult location to reach.

• 2008-05-25: 44.941774°, -93.182874° - At the intersection of Summit Avenue and Prior Ave N in St. Paul (about 14m or 6.2 miles by car from Minneapolis, MN)

Geohash reached. Abi, Erica, Ford and Erica's friend Chris (not to be confused with the other Chris) played games in the greenway in the middle of Summit Avenue until we were chased away by the storm.

Weekend Hash Attempts

of Friday 2008-06-06

(I'll know and post the hashes during my lunch break on Friday, 161.134.39.35 15:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC))

of Friday 2008-05-30

Looks like all of these are outside the 494-694 loop this weekend. (Saturday's is close)

Friday

Has an attempt inside the Mall of America! [1]

Rob Is sad that he's so busy tonight. Would have wanted to attempt.

Saturday

The map lookup tool has changed it's mind about this map and date.

Minneapolis NW, Minnesota has an attempt now in the city on Saturday, May 31... [2]

Rob is confused about why the map changed.

Sunday

Seems to have no reasonable attempts.
