June 1

Today's McMiniville hashpoint is just outside of Forest Grove, but it looks like it might be a hike to get there. Not sure I'll get to try going over there. Any other takers?Jiml 19:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Wil: Anyone know why August 17th is "notable?"

admalledd: No idea.

Unless someone can say why it needs to stay, I'm going to be deleting that section at some point. Also, I'll probably be cleaning up the Daily Locations section by moving all of the text below each date to the YYYY-MM-DD_45_-122 pages RSN. Wil 23:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the cleanup, Wil. Do you know who has the first geohash in this graticule? --Thomcat 15:11, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Thomcat, Drache and NoTerminal had the first geohash in the world, and they had it in this graticule. :) Wil 16:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I completed my cleanup of the Portland page yesterday. The only thing I noticed that need help with is contacting Erin, who was at the 2008-05-26 geohash and who promised us pictures but never posted any. Wil 16:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Damn you all in Portland for having an active location. I am the only local to ever visit a Eugene location... It is hard to go when you know you will be the only one there. Grr.

It's a shame that none of the recent (and not-so-recent) expeditions have been written up so that the rest of us can enjoy reading about them. (Or did nobody actually go? Several people are listed as expressing interest.) Can I please encourage you all to write something -- anything! -- about your expeditions? Thanks. -- Benjw 17:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I second Benjw's request. Make quickie expedition pages showing whether or not you reached the coordinates, just so that we an count you in the global statistics. -Robyn 17:17, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

-[[User:JimL|Jim]] Number 5 might be the closest in.  At least for me.
-: Sounds like Option 5 is popular??  [[User:JimL|JimL]] 01:30, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
-:: yea, I'll make a note of it on the mainpage -- [[User:Jhon|Jhon]] 03:07, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
-[[User:3riador|3riador]] would find the fifth option easiest. It's also a very convenient location in terms of getting off of the roads and to the point.
-[[User:Elegant Forkbomb|fkoran]] could do 1 or 6 by bike, otherwise he'll have to convince a car-driving friend to go.
-:If you are willing to bike the 40mi north to the P-Town area, I'm more than happy to give ya a lift to/from any of the other locations. -- [[User:Jhon|Jhon]] 19:41, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
