My origin hash spot looks so easy to access, I'm going to go for it next time I visit my parents (with time to spare in the trip up or back). It's about 500m (straight line) from highway 5, and google maps shows what appears to be a logging road that passes within 20m or less of the spot.

*My origin hash spot looks so easy to access, I'm going to go for it next time I visit my parents (with time to spare in the trip up or back). (But really, that never happens.) It's about 500m (straight line) from highway 5, and google maps shows what appears to be a logging road that passes within 20m or less of the spot. There may or may not be deer exclusion fencing between the road and the hashpoint.

*More bike hashing. Or walk hashing. Or even bus hashing. This car thing is faster, but human-powered is more fun. (Although I wouldn't turn down an airhash just because it isn't human powered.)

Latest revision as of 14:08, 2 April 2024

2009-04-08 49 -123.Rhonda.JPG

Hi. My name is Rhonda, and I like adventure. Robyn thinks I am at least as insane as she is, possibly due to my first ever geohash being a (planned) 4 hour kayak expedition.

Geohashes attempted (54/72)









Upcoming

  • Hope for accessible geohashes that coincide with days off?

Goals

  • My origin hash spot looks so easy to access, I'm going to go for it next time I visit my parents (with time to spare in the trip up or back). (But really, that never happens.) It's about 500m (straight line) from highway 5, and google maps shows what appears to be a logging road that passes within 20m or less of the spot. There may or may not be deer exclusion fencing between the road and the hashpoint.
  • More bike hashing. Or walk hashing. Or even bus hashing. This car thing is faster, but human-powered is more fun. (Although I wouldn't turn down an airhash just because it isn't human powered.)

Personal firsts

Things that I did for the first time in my life while or because of geohashing.

Geohashers met

Other pages

  • POSTED: list of my no trespassing geohashes for the POSTED achievement.
  • Cycling: list of my bicycle trip distances.
  • xkcd Centurion: list of Saturday meetups attended.
  • BC Regional Districts project: Graticule maps of BC's Regional Districts, for a more feasible regional geohash award in BC.

Ribbons earned

I'm only listing the first time I get a given ribbon. Unless I find it amusing to include again.
