For other places called Springfield, go here.

The Springfield, Massachusetts graticule is at latitude 42, longitude -72. This graticule includes the following cities: Agawam, MA; Ashfield, MA; Brattleboro, VT; Chicopee, MA; Keene, NH; Northampton, MA; Springfield, MA. It is one of the few known graticules to span 4 US states.

Water isn't a huge obstacle in this graticule, but forests are. Many of the locations so far have been in the middle of nowhere, which makes getting to them quite difficult. A GPS could come in handy, but the locations are frequently in easy to reach locations.

Today's Location: [Springfield, MA]

Notable Dates

2008-05-24: Was our graticule's first recorded visit, also setting the record for most people at a visit, 3!
2008-06-03: Second visit, tying the record for most people, but this time with pictures (to be posted ASAP)

Saturday Activities

chrisinajar will be attending as many of these as possible. Once I get my Magic cards back, they will be joining me.

Daily Locations

2022-02-27: Coordinates Cibachrome reached a hashpoint along a road in Keene, NH.

2013-10-05: Coordinates Paul, Charlie, Rory, and Theo reached a hashpoint in the forest near Athol.

2013-04-28: Coordinates Todd biked 12.5 miles from home to be stopped by no trespassing signs and houses where he would have needed to enter the woods for the geohash. He then completed the 25 mile round trip!

2013-03-13: Coordinates Todd and Phoebe had a picnic in the woods at a hash in Skinner State Park.

2013-03-09: Coordinates Todd and Phoebe walked from home to this geohash on the Northampton Bikeway.

2012-06-09: Coordinates Within a wooded area marked on the MotionX map as "Gun & Bow Club" in Granby. Phoebe and Todd didn't look at this particular map until they were already approaching on foot by way of power line access roads.

2012-06-07: Coordinates In the Mt. Holyoke State Park in Granby. Phoebe and Todd grabbed this fairly easy one by walking about a quarter mile on some trails that led right to it.

2012-06-05: Coordinates Deep in a forest near Plainfield. Phoebe and Todd turned around at 0.15 from the point when it became too dark.

2012-03-06: Coordinates 100 yards from an unplowed road in a state forest near Quabbin Reservoir. Todd Missed the location to the tune of a quarter mile because of use of Google Maps and iPhone to find the point. However, the event was memorable for reasons documented on the page.

Outdated Statistics

This page used to contain a Statistics section, but no one is maintaining it and it got all out of date, so I'm deleting it.

Records

Consecutive Arrivals - 1
Consecutive Saturdays - 0
Most People - 3 (4 at an unsuccessful attempt)
Geohasher(s) with most arrivals - Pixel(2), Sara (at least 3, but I'm not going to update this number here)

Local Geohashers

Todd lives in Florence, MA (aka Northampton). He's trying to limit geohashes to those he can bike or walk to without driving any more than he already needs to. He also has evil notions about decicules and centicules as everyday biking and walking destinations when the day's official geohash is completely out of the question.
chrisinajar lives in Swanzey, NH. That just outside of Keene. He will be getting to as many of these as possibly, not likely on weekdays though. (1 Visit)
Ho0ber lives in Keene, NH. That's just outside of Swanzey. He will be making it to any of these which are practical, and also not likely on weekdays.
Julia will start attending meetups when she arrives at Smith College in the fall.
Ryelle is surprised to find another smithie here, and will also try to go in the fall.
Fred has moved to UMASS Amherst for college and will attend nearby hashes.
Sixdeaftaxis lives in the Hilltowns of Western Massachusetts.
Sara lives in the Springfield area.
Hoffmanbike Used to live in Chicopee, MA; and now lives in Westfield, MA; will be attending as many as his wife allows him to.
Arbolito Lives in Troy, NH. That is just outside of Swanzey, kindof. Hopes to get to a hash eventually..
Wrosen also moved to UMass Amherst recently and will attempt to attend any nearby hashes.
Caleb lives in Longmeadow, MA. (just outside of Springfield.) He is young, and wants to find some geohashes, but his mom may not let him.
Cibachrome is just over the border in 42,-71 (in southern NH) but can still make it to a lot of hashes in this graticule.
