Geohash on Private Property

People have arrived at your property claiming to be geohashers.

Why Here?

They are trying to visit a spot that has been chosen for them by random chance. They will usually have either have a GPS receiver or a map printout showing where the spot is.

What Do They Want?

They want to meet people, take their pictures, and play games at the determined spot. If possible they would like to leave some kind of temporary marker there: a pattern of pinecones or some chalk marks, perhaps.

How Many Are There?

We don't know how many people will turn up. Often there is only

To meet people, to have adventures, and to play games.

And Your Friends Too

And Don't Come Back! The geohash will be at this location for one day only. It is extremely unlikely that the point of conversion will ever be on your property again.

The geohashers themselves would consider it an exciting honour to have the geohash land on or even near their property

Geohashing rules ask participants to respect private property, and to ask permission if their adventure takes them onto private property.

Didn't You See the Sign? Consider that they may not have arrived through the fence or up the driveway, but may have followed a compass bearing through the woods, or come across the river, or just been so focused on the adventure that they did see any signs. Sorry. Can we please come on your property?

Look What You Did! Geohashers get achievement awards for respecting no trespassing signs, for getting permission to visit property and for picking up trash. There are no awards for illegal trespass, property damage or littering, and if geohashers do that on your property, other geohashers would like to know about it.

Thank you so much for allowing the Internet to visit you today.

in progress, kind of brainstorming, .. just wanted a page that would make sense to the bewildered property owner.
