The city of Madison is the hub of the 43, -89 graticule, but the region covers mostly the area to the north. Madison residents should also consider geohashes in Stoughton to the south.

This graticule also has a Facebook group: Geohashing - Madison, WI

We are just getting going here, and it may take a few weeks to get this site organized, so please be patient. We will try and keep both the Facebook group and this wiki up-to-date with all the same information. If you have any cool ideas or comments, please post them to the Facebook group or the wiki discussion page, as we would like to keep the main wiki page as 'clean' as possible. Thanks.


Active Hashers

Bill Minser
Info: Systems Programmer at UW-Madison. Really I live in (42, -89) but I long for the north.
starbird
Info: Madison-based computer scientist and backgammon consultant, or vice versa. Spends a lot of time in Tokyo.

Bill and starbird usually go hashing together, generally accompanied by Bill's daughter The Adjectival Toddler. As far as they know, they're the only active geohashers in the Madison area. They always go for pie after hashing, so please join them! You can have pie, too.
