Locations

I live in Florence, MA, and work in Brattleboro, VT, commuting twice a week. Very conveniently, this route takes me from the general northern area of the graticule to the general southern area of the graticule.

Expeditions

Fails

• 2012-03-06 42,-72: A drive one hour out of the way on the way home from work, followed by running and walking and being lead astray by the iPhone Google Maps app.

Succeeds

• 2012-03-11 42,-72: A long, strenuous bike ride, followed by a rescue by car which took Phoebe and I to the geohash.

Plans

I've decided that I should not go around driving to geohashes when I already drive enough and really shouldn't incorporate it into a sporting event. In that spirit, I plan to bike or walk to any geohash I can get to without extra driving. This means that after work one day I might park in Greenfield and walk (or bike) to a nearby geohash, but not drive an extra ten miles. It's a tough decision to make, considering the low hanging fruit (I passed up 2012-03-13 42,-72, a very easy drive from Brattleboro), but it will make the ones I do hit special, and lead to cool things like biking 12 miles with a quarter mile vertical ascent.

Subhashing

I've performed the evil craft of mapping out my home's decicule, centicule, and millicule. My intention is that if I know I don't have enough time to get as close as possible to my geohash, I'll go after the decihash. Barring that, I'll go after my centihash. And barring that, I'll try to get to my millihash.
