This is a gallery of amazing geohashing achievements, hilariously described catastrophes or otherwise cool adventures that demonstrate the spirit and practice of geohashing. They aren't all events like the first one-legged unicycle ascent of Mount Everest. Many are things anyone could do, but these people did. Add to the gallery if you know of a story that you think deserves a wider audience. Choose an appropriate category and place it in date order, most recent at the top.
