User:Thomcat

Thom is an umpire and a programmer, father of two, bicycling Seattle resident and beer drinker. He plays war games and role playing games, both face to face and through email. If he's not doing any of those things on a given weekend, you might find him traveling the North American continent or reading a book.

My current GPS is an Android phone and yes, that's a little hula Lilo on the dashboard of my 2012 Prius V. My plan is to try to visit hashes between 3 and 5, and I nearly always have a game or two with me. If I can only get close, I use Chris Michels page to tell me just how close.

Wiki

I used to edit the Geohash wiki mercilessly. Now I haven't got as much time. I heartily support those who keep up the good work!

Washington (state)

A map of all Washington Graticules and First geohashers within the state. Actual graticule is linked behind the Washington place name if different. Another map of Washington is also available, but it counts visits to graticules instead of the state.

Note: The borders of Washington State, like many others, are geographically a bit off. This map does not count the bare smidgen of land at 45.999, -118.999 or the unevenly surveyed slivers at 45.999, -117.354 or 45.999, -116.943. The large section of the Lewiston ID graticule bordered by the Snake River is counted above. The rest of the Idaho and Canada borders give a little back instead, with two exceptions around the town of Sumas on highway 9 (49.001, -122.264) and Point Roberts (49.001, -123.051) - but I am not claiming either Surrey BC or Vancouver BC as being in Washington State.

Purchases

Besides vehicle fuel and the occasionally ferry fare, I have made a few purchases related to geohashing. They are

Thermometer - digital readout, in case "cold" is ever an option.
Machete - official army variety. I don't want Mother Nature to stop me from a conscutive geohash this weekend.
Sidewalk chalk - for those urban geohashes, something to mark the location and occasion.
Inflatable boat (at a garage sale - hope it doesn't leak!)
