Roald88 (Me!)
Hi! I'm Roald88 (she/they/he). I first learned about geohashing sometime in 2023 or so, via XKCD. I only just started actually going to hashes this month (as of writing this, January 2025), and am no longer limiting myself to hashes in walking distance from my house (convincing people to drive me places is going better than I thought). I'm in the Boston, Massachusetts graticule (42, -71). Generally, given where I live (right on the edge of the graticule) I can’t reach a lot of the hashes that are in my graticule - a 9 mile walk is about my limit, and that only gets me to Burlington or so.
I have a Hashscot (Rosy Maple Moth) who will come with me to hashes whenever I remember to bring them. Pictures will appear soon.
Hashes I've gone to
2025-01-11 42 -71 (First hash!) (Just realized I could have qualified for Walk Geohash for this, but I don’t have sufficient evidence)
2025-01-15 42 -71 (First Puppet Master hash!)
2025-01-17 42 -71 (First Drag-along hash!)
2025-01-29 42 -70 (Failure, private property)
2025-01-29 42 -71 (Failure, unable to set out on expedition)
2025-01-30 42 -70 (Faliure, private property? Unsure, may attempt when night is not impending)
