An opportunity not to be missed

Hmm. Geosplash...? 211.30.131.243 07:12, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Uhm... well.. if the geohash end up in a pool... you can call it a geosplash :) --Evo-- 11:16, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Frozen water

If the body of water in question is frozen, is it an water geohash achievement? Should we have separate ice geohash achievement? --Cg 15:11, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I never thought of that. Yes, I think we should have a separate achievement for reaching a geohashon on the surface of a frozen body of water. I don't think a frozen puddle should count though. Has to be enough water that it would be a water geohash were it not frozen. An artificial ice arena would definitely count, too. With recommendations for skating to the geohash and having a curling or hockey match once you reach it. -Robyn 16:51, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Honorable Mention if the ice breaks and you drown/freeze to death ;-) - Danatar 18:32, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Better put a disclaimer on the page, anyway. And a link to instructions for over-ice rescue, for those who didn't get them in elementary school. -Robyn 20:14, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
