Sunday Meetups

June 22 2008 Meetup The actual area is behind a fenced in area as it contains a drainage area. Attendance = 1. I was able to get within 10 feet or so to the east of the exact location. There was a door to this area which is not locked but with as over grown the vegetation had become, I became satisfied to sit on the manhole cover nearest the drainage pit. I did scratch XKCD into the iron manhole cover(which is made in India) with a small rock I found near by. I dubbed the location Geohashed.

July 6 2008 Meetup The location appears to be a 1/4 mile into the woods from the nearest road. It is quite a distance for me(NWoodruff). I do not have a GPS to go tracking to find this location. Expected attendance = 0. (Please update). I've clicked the flag on the map and noted that I will not be attending.

July 13 2008 Meetup The location appears to be in someones back yard. It seems to be reachable with a place to park on the side of the road. I will be attempting to Geohash the location at 16:00. Please update if you plan on attending. Attendance = 1.

Aug 10 2008 Meetup Douglasville time, on Chapel Hill road even. This will be a drive and a half for me but I( NWoodruff) have an old friend that lives about a mile and a half south of this point on Chapel Hill road. Looks like it is time to go see them. I will be showing up at 4pm local time. Also this spot can qualify you for the Speed Racer achievement. Expected attendance = 1. Please update if you plan on attending. Be looking for a Red Ford Ranger parked on the side of the road nearest the spot. Expedition can be found here.

Weekday Meetups

Friday June 20 2008 Very Reachable. In Henderson Park in Tucker. ElSupreme Will try to get his girlfriend to go there with him today. Come in the Livesy Rd / Henderson Park Road entrance and picnic by the lake before trudging into the woods for the actual point.

June 30 2008 Meetup Looks very reachable on the east side of town. Near Sam's Crossing in Avondale. Go east on East Ponce DeLeon to the bottom of the hill. Turn left on Dekalb Industrial and turn in to the 3rd driveway on the right. The thumbtack thingy is just at the front of their building (at the left most of the handicapped parking spaces, it looks like). Expected attendance = 0 (please update).

Thursday July 17 2008 It looks to be about 2 miles from my house ( NWoodruff ). I will be attempting this GeoHash when I return home from work, aprox 18:00. I am also going to attempt a Bicycle GeoHash. Expected attendance at 18:00 = 1. Please update if you plan on attending. I have clicked on the thumb tack on the map and updated it to say that I will be attending. +1, 4.5 miles from me, User:Sparr. Actual attendance = 2, me and a friend, got there early, stayed til 6, missed you NWoodruff. Was harder to get to than expected, the last 70 feet into the trees was a bit of a climb down. UPDATE: NWoodruff I wasn't able to get home till almost 7:30pm. I didn't start the bicycle GeoHash until about 8pm. As I got there it was already getting dark. If I had known that it was such a climb down, I would not have attempted the ride. Because of darkness, I didn't attempt the GeoHash and therefore have not awarded myself the GeoHash badge for this day.

Thursday July 24 2008 Although this GeoHash is within 10 or so miles of my house( NWoodruff), it appears to be in a gated community. I have nothing better to do tonight, if I can get off work at a decent time, I will attempt this GeoHash around 19:00. I will attempt the Ambassador Geohash instead of the No Trespassing Geohash.

Monday July 28 2008 This is the perfect GeoHash for me NWoodruff. It is not that far out of my way and I could qualify for a Speed Racer GeoHash. Unfortunately though tonight I am making it to the Braves game at the Ted this evening so this hash is the opposite direction that I will be traveling. 2008-07-28
