Talk:Portland, Oregon

July

Hello Portland! Thomcat will be in your graticule this weekend, although I have an engagement near Tigard on Saturday at 5pm. Here's hoping for a good hashpoint! --Thomcat (talk) 22:04, 11 July 2013 (EDT)

Maybe we can find an interesting Retro even if there isn't a nearby point. Jiml (talk) 02:29, 12 July 2013 (EDT)

Hmmm, happy to meet up regardless. Saturday is in a nice spot - if you are a train. Probably no public access. Open to suggestions, and will check the point again Monday before I go. Absolutely sure my son will want to put in some time at Ground Kontrol this weekend. --Thomcat (talk) 09:48, 12 July 2013 (EDT)

We're going to Disneyland.   Err, no, how about Downtown Beaverton??

We're Quite the Graticule

I believe that, as of today, we've collectively mounted as many Portland graticule Expeditions in 2010 as we did in all of 2009. Throw in all of the McMinnville action and we're a global geohashing hotbed! For what that's worth....  : ) Michael5000 22:45, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

• You and APR deserve a lot of the credit with your activity. It was pretty much just me for much of 2009! Jiml 09:36, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Older Question re Aug 17

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)

Wasn't me! --Thomcat (talk) 22:04, 11 July 2013 (EDT)

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)
