Revision as of 17:59, 21 March 2010

This is maintained on a separate page so that the main Portland, Oregon page will hopefully look a little cleaner.


Geohashing Historical Society Note: 2/17/2008 - Sunday

It was from the Olden Times, back before the xkcd geohash wiki had gone live... but the February 17 meeting in the graticule should probably be celebrated all the same.  :)

2008 expeditions with report

8/16/2008 - Saturday

The location looks like it's in the alley between two houses out in Oregon City.

8/2/2008 - Saturday

((Local information taken from the e-mail list, so credit goes to Wil for this.))

The location is Here for those that want to Google Map it. As stated by Wil, it actually has a street view. Odd. Looks to be a field right off of I-5.

Locally, it is a mile away from Champoeg State Park and the nearest town is Woodburn.

Maravi will be there, and this will be his virgin Geohash. Yay!

Tim Ferrell is gonna make it. 1st timer.

Maggie: I will probably be there with a friend. It sort of depends on what ends up happening for the rest of the day.

7/26/2008 - Saturday

The point is out near Sandy. It's relatively near Eagle Fern Park; we may be able to park there and walk to the actual point, if anyone's up for a 3-4 mile hike.

In Sandy, there's a burger place called Calamity Janes that seems to have decent reviews. How about we find the point at 4pm and all go out for burgers afterwards?

Maggie will be there this week, and is up for a hike and burgers. Yes indeed.

Wil: Heh. I wrote the two paragraphs above, but forgot to mention that I will be there.

7/19/2008 - Saturday

Looks like another field in Woodburn! Woo!

Jhon will be thar!

Probably Wil, too.


2008 Planned expeditions with no report

10/25/2008 - Saturday

well, here comes another geohash, I'll try to be more proactive like Wil, this Saturday is a robotics competition at OMSIand was wondering if anyone on/in the Internets wishes to come? time is from 10:00am to 4:00pm. for more information please post here and I'll add more then. (and wil, I'm NOT biking this time, got a robot to carry.) admalledd 4:31, 23 2008 (UTC)

9/13/2008 - Saturday

Field trip! This week's point is in the NW corner of the graticule. This means that if we jump one graticule south, we'd be in the outskirts of Salem. I've never been to Salem, but I've met some geohashers from there and it would be cool to see them again. If I can find anyone to ride with me or anyone to meet me in Salem (or both,) I'll be at the 44,-122 graticule's meetup point tomorrow. Wil 18:39, 12 September 2008 (UTC) UPDATE: The meetup is in two hours. Only one other person said they'd be making it and they emailed a few minutes ago to cancel. Looks like I won't be headed down to Salem today. Wil 21:03, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

8/23/2008 - Saturday

Wil: The actual location is just north of Silverton. I've suggested an alternate location: OMSI in Portland. See you there? UPDATE: Some friends and I are probably going to head over early, around noon. One person I spoke to expressed some disbelief (and a slight hint of derision) that I was going to OMSI, saying that it was "for kids". Therefore, I figured a few extra hours at OMSI would be time well spent... Anyway, I'll be hanging around the entrance of the museum at the official meetup time (16:00,) but I may be inside as early as noon.

admalledd: I'll be coming to OMSI (was planing to go Monday but this works too.) definitely one more person (driver) possible some friends! I wonder how the ball machine is doing?

Maggie: I will be there! It's been a while.

admalledd:sorry I couldn't make it. last minute plans I did not know of.
