People who are shamed into signing

I've found you can't count on getting a hash on a quick trip, but that if you're patient, it doesn't matter how rugged your graticule or how restricted your movements: eventually something attainable arises.

If you get a chance on the wedding trip, don't forget that there's an award for geohashing in formal attire! -Robyn 02:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

• I have found, travelling all over as I do, and being stuck in some pretty nasty graticules with pretty limited transportation, that the geohash will always come to you if you have enough patience. In your case, either the geohash or spring will come soon. Take inspiration from the ru when your geohash is in a dark, snow-covered forest! Good luck. I'm very sorry you weren't active the day I had a lovely August Edmonton geohash in a field. I would have been so thrilled to have you come strolling up. -Robyn 04:13, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey Meghan, you need to show up all those Edmontonians who apparently gave it one shot and quit! The Germans are going to start thinking we're lazy up here. Juventas 02:43, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if we're lazy, they just have the advantage of living east of 30W and knowing the coordinates the night before :D Meghan 20:32, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

It's true, it's a big advantage. I don't know why Randall thought it was reasonable to not find out the coordinates until almost ten in the morning. -Robyn 20:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

When I go to Germany for 8 months, who's side am I on? Am I some sort of undercover geohashing secret agent[1]? Or just a run-of-the-mill geohashing traitor? Thepiguy 18:54, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I say if your passport is Canadian, then you're still a Canadian geohasher. You'll be one-upping them by hashing on a different continent :D --Meghan 20:29, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

[1]Isn't that what you call an Ambassador? -- relet 20:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Only if Germany has No Trespassing - Keep Out signs posted at the borders. - Robyn

What happens if (like me) you have two different passports (both valid) from two different continents? If you then go hashing in a third country, which side are you collecting for?  :-) -- Benjw 22:52, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Hooray! I shall do Canada proud! Thepiguy 20:25, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Gulf of St. Lawrence

I just realized you named it Gulf of St Lawrence, Québec but I think that it should probably have the same neutral no-country name as Atlantic Ocean, and just be Gulf of St. Lawrence. Because there are parts of it around PEI and Maine, too, for example. -Robyn 03:07, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I was curious about that. I named it the way I did because looking at the provincial borders all of that water is in Québec. I can change it later. -- Meghan 12:34, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Thaw?

I wondered if you were seeing any signs of a thaw out there? -Robyn 19:45, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Slowly. It's been kind of a cool spring, with temperatures being about 8 degrees cooler than they should be. The fields are still covered in snow, and most rural roads are slush/mud. In urban areas things are clearing up nicely. Too bad most hashes are in some field somewhere. --Meghan 15:16, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
