Talk:Victoria, British Columbia

I have unilaterally decided that this will be a "most recent first" list as opposed to an "add it at whichever end seems most convenient" list.

I'm going to try for this one -- looks like it's either right on the shore, or in the water off somebody's property on one of the Indian reservations. --Wenslayer 17:23, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

So close (8m), will write it up. --Wenslayer 04:41, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Argh, this weekend's three Geohashes are all too far flung to practically reach in half a day. Can I pick which latitude and longitude out of the three days and create my own? For example, how about this one?

• Friday's longitude (-123.4387649) + Sunday's latitude (48.4907867) = a point in Saanich about 220 from Prospect Lake Road

I really don't expect this to be endorsed :-) --Wenslayer 14:29, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Spend the weekend doing something that you'll have to do later, so that another weekend you can spend the whole day/weekend geohashing, and not feel guilty. Clean the garage, weed the garden. Or plan and build a contraption to get you to the next geohash. -Robyn 21:56, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Good advice, Robyn! :-) --Wenslayer 22:01, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Anybody up for this Geohash? Looks like it's just off William Head Road in Metchosin quite close to the water, although it's likely on someone's property. I'm planning on biking there in the morning, but with no GPS device, I won't be able to nail it down. --Wenslayer 16:08, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Wish I could join you, but I have to work tomorrow. Good luck! - Elbie 16:19, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Upon closer inspection, I believe this Geohash lies on the inside of the William Head Institution (minimum security facility)! Is there a jail-break achievement??? :-) Now I have to go check it out tomorrow and take some pictures of a no-tresspassing sign at least. --Wenslayer 16:32, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

I created the meetup page, currently in planning mode.

Updated with results of expedition. --Wenslayer 23:16, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Hash on Salt Spring

Would anybody else be interested in joining me for 2009-05-03 48 -123? -Elbie 19:23, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to be overnight at 2009-05-02 48 -122 and can't make the ferry in time to join you. I'll go to 2009-05-03 48 -122 instead. Also I have a moratorium on spending money on ferry tolls for non-Saturday geohashes right now. -Robyn 19:28, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to get as close as I can. If anyone is going to be in the area; I'll be on the side of the highway (the part that look as if it will look out over the water) at 15:30. Thepiguy 05:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Have you guys nailed any geohashes yet, or will I break your graticule's virginity if I get to Point Roberts today?
