hi, we are really getting close to the geohashing day. I will have all day and if feasible like to go by bike, but I can surely also bring my van that carries 7 and possibly borrow a canoe if a waterhash is required. I also have no further plans for the weekend yet, so would be available for some warm-up hashing exercises or epic adventures. Wijnland 23:41, 17 May 2012 (EDT)
- and we won't even find out until Monday morning what the geohashing day point is, because Victoria Day isn't a US holiday. Oh well, I'll be up at 6:30 on Monday and checking the point anyway. -- Rhonda 23:54, 17 May 2012 (EDT)
