Expeditions

2008-06-02 Norrköping - A quick driveby geohashing by Effbot. The target was on a field near the lake Hövern [aerial photo] [pics]
2008-06-02 Singapore - In the Straits of Malacca, but the alternative graticule (1, 104) yields a spot on land currently under reclamation in Pulau Tekong (military use) -- a potential Restricted Area Geohash. [map]
2008-06-02 Wellington - This graticule (-41, 175) is in Cook Strait off the Wairarapa Coast - would be better to make it somewhere closer, at the end of Lake Ferry Road perhaps
2008-06-02 San Francisco, CA - Approximately a half-mile west of the intersection of Ocean Blvd & Madrone Ave in Moss Beach. Bring a towel.
2008-06-02 Oklahoma City - Crown Heights Park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Crown Heights is an historic preservation district in Oklahoma City. [map] [photo]
2008-06-02 Brisbane - Not in the 75% ocean in this graticule (-27, 153) for once, over a house just off the street in Chermside. Ubethatway, KzazB and Cpt.Hardthing reached this geohash after a nearby GeoSquishy. [map]
