Plans

I will go for a quick visit somewhere in the evening. If anyone is up for a meetup and maybe some beverage after...? Wijnland 12:22, 15 February 2013 (EST)

I will photograph it from 5000' at around 3 pm, and then come join you in the evening for my first air/ground hash. -Robyn 14:55, 15 February 2013 (EST)

I will try to get a ride with Robyn for the ground portion of the trip. We should try for a speed racer hash, too. ---Wade 17:35, 15 February 2013 (EST) - what time do you expect to race by? I can make it anytime past 7 and may try a bike speedracer (50=max?) it is downhill for bit Wijnland

Ahoy! --Juventas 22:15, 15 February 2013 (EST)

Expedition

Robyn:

I flew until eight, and then had to go up for another flight, leaving me kinda to tired to go out to the hashpoint now. But we got pictures. I have to wait for them to be processed. -Robyn 02:05, 16 February 2013 (EST)

Juventas:

I recently moved, and was looking forward to geohashing in my new home graticule. A graticule with other geohashers!

I didn't notice the hash till 6pm and read there might be others at 7 or so. Being nearly an hour's drive away, I quickly ran out the door with little more than a smartphone and a box of chalk. When I arrived, there were no signs of geohashers or markers. I parked and walked around the area a bit before doing the dance and chalking (my first?) marker. After close to an hour of killing time I decided to head out for a snack... an unexpectedly expensive snack.
