Local Geohashers

Paul, Richmonder when school is out, can't think of anything better to do on Saturday then drive to some random location and hang out with other similiarly bored people. Might be working though...

Blaine, living in Southside this summer, could get into this.

James, real-life friend of Randall's since middle school, will try and make it Saturdays at 4 as long as it's not terribly far from Richmond-proper, using Ashland & Petersburg as rough north-south boundary points.

Andrew, from Short Pump, is going to give this a shot on saturday if he can convince his friends to come too.

Tyler, also from Short Pump, might do this since he could use the practice on his new bike. He will also will be working, though.

stepol (and their kids) from the Central Virginia Geocaching Association made a Memorial Day run to the Shady Grove location.

Julie is less adventurous than most xkcd people, and will gamely try to get there on Saturdays when not too much trespassing is required. Shoofle is often her companion.

Peter, from Glen Allen, is willing to give this a shot so long as he's back from college.

Upcoming Geohashing Proposals

Clint wants to see the trebuchet. He wonders what kinds of things will be tested, like a watermelon, a cat, or a slinky connecting a watermelon and a cat. The Pocahantas State Park would be an excellent alternative location.

James imagines this will be too time-/labor-intensive for this Saturday, but imagines that if there were to be an alternate location in, say, Pocahantas State Park, the trebuchet pictured in this blag post could be tested and tuned out to its theorized 500+ yard range. Also, he is pretty sure he has this Saturday off, and anticipates making it to the hash on time this week.

Tyler is wondering why most of the locations are near the edges of the map, far away from people.

Paul wonders the same thing! and has therefore decided that the meeting spot should be in the rocks right off Belle Isle. Go check out the map if you are into that. He will not, however, show up, because he had to work. Sorry folks.

Successful Geohashes

Randall comes to visit our humble graticule

6-14-2008: Peter read the blag and met up with Randall and Doug on Belle Island downtown since Aylett is a bit too far away. There was a kayak competition going on, and swimming was had by all despite nobody thinking to bring a swimsuit. Alternate meetup site = success. Pictures here

5-31-2008: Shoofle and Julie met up with Paul in Suffolk County Saturday afternoon for a nice visit and some time kicking around a soccer ball. We didn't get to exactly the right spot, but it was close enough. Pictures here
