Easy Thursday 26 March

See map HERE

  • A few feet south or FL Hwy 2 between Laurel Hill and Blackman.


The Crestview, FL graticule is located at latitude 30 N, longitude 86 W.

Click on the "Discussion" tab for a chronicle of geohashing in this graticule.

PLEASE be respectful of the land use regulations! Large sections of Eglin Air Force Base are off limits to the public and the rest of the Eglin ranges are open only to people who have permits to go onto them. A permit may be purchased at Jackson Guard, State Highway 85, Niceville, Florida for $10 and is good through September 30. If you trespass on the Eglin ranges without a permit, you will (1) get yourself a ticket, (2) make life more difficult for other geohashers who have permits, and (3) possibly trip over an unexploded bomb and blow yourself up.

Out of respect for our geohashers who work from 7:30 to 4:30 on a regular basis, the default meet-up time for this graticule is moved to 5:00 PM from the customary 4:00 PM.

Weekly (Saturday Meetup) Locations

SATURDAY 21 Mar Theoretically Possible. LIBERIAN, POWERTOOL and BOS WILL TRY FOR THIS AT 1700, 21 MAR - In pretty dense trees about 1 KM from Poverty Creek Rd. Looks like open field to within 200 meters of the hash.

FRIDAY 20 Mar Looks EASY. A little south of Florala. In cultivated field about 200 meters east of CR 147W. CAUTION don't trample - geohash dogma says clear ability to reach is sufficient without damaging crops.

SUNDAY 22 March - Looks Hard May be worth a try. About 5 miles SW of Holt FL. Off Garner Landing Rd (clay - may be private). Looks like through 200 - 300 meters of swamp. May be worth a try.

Notable Dates
