Congratulations to all of you! I'm really looking forward to the report :) --LeslieHapablap (talk) 05:08, 11 July 2014 (EDT)

Congrats! I'm so glad (and jealous) that you made it! I can't wait to hear about it! You make this ex-Vancouverite proud.  ;) -Srs0 (talk) 05:35, 11 July 2014 (EDT)

Well done guys, jealous as well! :) - Mampfred (talk) 11:57, 11 July 2014 (EDT)

Thanks everyone! It was a great time! Will also have more details and photos when I get a chance ... -- OtherJack (talk) 15:32, 11 July 2014 (EDT)

Hooray! I knew somebody would make it. Congratulations! You can format the quotes like this, if you add a space at the beginning of the line - Danatar (talk) 16:17, 15 July 2014 (EDT)

Ah, but it doesn't seem to wrap the sentence... it just goes way off to the right outside of the wiki background unfortunately! -- OtherJack (talk) 16:24, 15 July 2014 (EDT)

I love the extra details you added, OtherJack! It really gives a good impression of how much of extreme geohashing is planning and worrying if things will work rather than actually being on the way, and then the excitement of discovering new things that locals take for granted in the process. Very nice! I'm so glad that the two of you made it (and that my suggestion was helpful)! Hopefully one day I'll have the chance for something as awesome out here... Underground globalhash in the CERN tunnels maybe? I can only dream...  ;) -Srs0 (talk) 04:37, 16 July 2014 (EDT)

Haha... I suppose you could go on a CERN tunnel tour anyway though, as long as you're thinking about it. They do that, right? I also only just realized you are now in Geneva... I was there for a few days last August visiting a friend, but no reasonable hashpoints occurred, and besides he had plenty for us to do anyway. Best of luck there... -- OtherJack (talk) 05:25, 16 July 2014 (EDT)

The tunnel tours are very restricted and only when the beams are offline (like right now). I went to see them last year in September, and I think the only other chance was a couple months ago in May. It would be much more easy if it was at one of the detectors (especially ATLAS), but I won't hope that much, and it's still only during the shutdown (until ~February 2015). I'll settle for a restricted area globalhash (or even geohash), even if it's on the surface.  ;) -Srs0 (talk) 11:19, 16 July 2014 (EDT)

Not the first aerial globalhash nor the first aerial in the Tantalus Mountains, but that's kind of unfair as one of the pioneering geohashers is a commercial pilot living in the graticule. Robyn (talk) 21:21, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Super cool, I knew about your Idaho helicopter-assisted globalhash but did not realize you'd also made a regular air hash so close to our spot three years earlier! In any case it was User:Srs0 who repeatedly said this would be the first aerial globalhash, not me or Rex. (I think in hindsight I will give him the puppet master ribbon for coming up with the idea for the expedition).

Also, re-reading your Idaho expedition report after so many years was a lot of fun and makes me want to return to geohashing soon!

Me too! I came to the wiki for a photo from one of our old expeditions and spent half the day reading reports. I'm trying to find a good easy hash calculator I can look at each morning, to see what's doable. Robyn (talk) 04:09, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

(Nm about the puppet master, apparently the puppet is not allowed to be a geohasher...) -- OtherJack (talk) 22:25, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
