From Geohashing

Great write up! Sounds like it went... well. This more than qualifies you or the No trespassing and Police geohash achievements too! Can't wait to hear more! Thepiguy 06:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

You are awesome! That's the most audacious ambassador attempt I've ever seen. -Robyn 07:41, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Argh! I forgot to take a picture of all the No Trespassing signs -- doh! --Wenslayer 21:00, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I sometimes think I should carry a geohashing checklist:

  • proof of location
  • proof of time/date
  • stupid grin
  • xkcd marker
  • play games
  • group photo
  • achievements
  • hashcot picture
  • photo of the actual geohash

I think you should be very proud of your first geohashing expedition. On mine I chickened out talking to border guards, and you went right through to trying to persuade prison guards. -Robyn 07:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Ah, that's a good idea -- and thanks for the kind words, Robyn! --Wenslayer 14:58, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for this write-up. Coincidentally, I tried a prison geohash two weeks after you did, but I didn't have the courage to ask the correctional officer to let me onto the prison grounds. Sara 00:07, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Wow, amazing. I must have missed that one. Or did I? Anyway. I think, as per prior definitions, MND must be Mother Nature's Ditch. Were there any ditches alongside the road? %) -- relet 06:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Indeed! I wondered if that would qualify me for the Media Attention achievement; thoughts? --Wenslayer 16:00, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
