Talk:Springfield, Massachusetts
From Geohashing
24 May 2008
Well, there's at least one other person here who's making these pages. I might go down to Blunt Park tomorrow, but I also am trying to put in a garden, so no guarantees.--zxo 128.119.70.252 19:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Waves. I set up the page. I actually live in Connecticut but the southern Springfield, MA geohashes are not too far away from where I live. (Would be just about 45-60 minutes to get to Saturday's event.) Not sure if I will make it but a visit to a park is much more enjoyable sounding than treking through someone's backyard. --KDinCT 19:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Cheers! I'm actually on the other side of Springfield... maybe 10 minutes from today's geohash. I agree that a park is a much better place, though. --zxo 128.119.70.252 20:05, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ya me and two of my friends will be going to today's location at blunt park, we live one town over so it shouldnt be very difficult
- Glad to see some people were able to make it. Sadly with gas at $4.12 I couldn't justify driving the round trip. Hopefully you all had a good time and were able to get some 'proof'. Feel free to make a page entitled 2008-05-24 42 -72 and link to it under notable dates. --KDinCT 21:10, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

How many states in this graticule, anyway?
It just spans over 3 US states, right? --Reinhard 07:04, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Looks like 4 to me. Which state do you not agree with? --joannac 07:12, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- I can't see the part that is in New York. -Robyn 07:53, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Connecticut | Massachusetts | Vermont | New Hampshire. No New York. What? --joannac 07:58, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- I was looking at the neighbouring graticules, assuming implied overlap. But okay there's a little sliver at the bottom north of Windsor Locks: that's CT; Springfield we know is in MA. At the top Bratleboro is in what, NH? So where's the fourth state? I can't load a better map. Lousy internet. -Robyn 08:12, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Bratleboro is basically on the NH/Vermont border. If you look at the map there's a silver line that does a blip at Hinsdale. That's the border. --joannac 08:19, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, yes! You're right! There's Vermont in the Northwest and New Hampshire in the Northeast and the border goes mainly along IS-91 (or route 91?), that's why we couldn't see it. I'll take a closer look, when I'm visiting Mass in September. :-) --Reinhard 09:44, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- The border follows the Connecticut River. They built I-91 along the Vermont side of the river. --starbird 14:32, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Good luck Reinhard, I flew over this area at quite low altitude last fall, but I couldn't see any borders then, either. I'll have to trust starbird that they are there. -Robyn 18:27, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, definitely. This is New England: you're never far from a border. --starbird 19:30, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
