== Local Geohashers ==
*[[User:Asya|Anna]] lives in Bethesda, not far from the intersection of four graticules (Baltimore, Frederick, DC East and DC West) and would like to attend on Saturdays in whichever graticule presents a closer/more interesting location. However, she is a little discouraged by the seeming lack of recent activity on this page. Is anyone still here? Did the Halloween meetup ever happen?
*[[User:Breezy|Bree]] lives in NoVa, and plans to attend meetups simply because adventure is too good to pass up, and her mom will freak when she finds out.
*[[User:Tdoggette|Thomas]] lives in this area, and plans to attend the meetup in whichever local graticule is most convenient on Saturday.
*[[User:DDRBoxman|Colin]] also is a resident of this area and plans to attend on Saturday (May 24).
*[[User:Winsey|Steve and Lynette]] currently live in the Eastern Washington graticule, but are moving to the Western in two weeks, and will attend whichever meetup is most convenient whenever they are able.
*[[User:ciel|Dan]] technically lives in the very bottom of the Frederick graticule, but will be attending meetups in this graticule when it's more convenient (gas is expensive!).
* [[User:Phydeaux|Brian]]'s mother has a house on Kent Island, which would be ideal to visit on a day like today 
* [[User:slackbassist|Justin]] also lives in the Fairfax area, and will attend when able - like Dan said, gas is expensive!
({{egl|2008-05-22|38|-77|text=2008-05-22}}).
*[[User:Arihm|Alex]] is a college student home from the summer who got turned onto this geohashing by a friend in Portland OR. She hopes to participate in as many geohashes as she can before she leaves for Santiago Chile in mid-July.
*[[User:Actionjackson|Alex H.]] is looking to do some geohashes with his junky old GPS unit in Alexandria.
*[[User:Chazzwick|Phil]] is in the Vienna area.
*[[User:EpeeGnome|EpeeGnome]] has been out of the loop for over a year, but would like to get involved again if people are still going to these.
*[[User:Katiealice|Katie]] lives in the Baltimore graticule, but will be attending meet-ups in the DC area as well when convenient.
*[[User:grimboard|Scott]] I'm in Arlington, and will come to northern locations in both graticules. May do farther out ones if they fall in a park/public space.
* Frumious lives at the northern edge of the western DC graticule near IAD and may show up occasionally if there's a hash nearby
* [[User:Nathan|Nathan]] lives in Ashburn (technically not in DC East+West), and will show up as much as he can.
* [[User:Cerulean|Cerulean]] is here.
* [[User:Philosophress|Philosophress]] just discovered this page and wants to attend/learn more.
* [[User:halberdier25|John]] lives in Springfield and currently flies out of Warrenton Airport. He will buzz the meetup when he gets a chance.
* [[User:chuckrex|Chuckrex]] lives in DC West and geohashes when he can.
* [[User:C4bl3Fl4m3|C4bl3Fl4m3]] is completely new to Geohashing and splits her time between DC west graticule and the Toronto, ON graticule.
* [[User:Sky7|Sky7]] is a geohashing neophyte, currently living in Arlington.  While he discovered this page by freak chance, he figures that it must be cool due to its association with XKCD.
* [[User:Domke|Domke]] lives in southern Maryland and is new to geohashing.
* Josh lives in Arlington and is mostly available on Sundays. Occasional Saturdays.
* [[User:Manlyhashninja|Fitzy]] lives in the Fredericksburg area when He's home from college, and goes Geohashing when he can afford the gas.
* [[User:Jevanyn|Jevanyn]] is [[North Jersey|not a local]], but used to be from NoVa, and will give a try at a geohash near the city or along the way down I-95 toward [[Wilmington]], NC when I'm in the area.
* [[User:Technolefty|James]] is a noobie geohasher and looks forward to many adventures in pursuit of that elusive digital pushpin.
* [[User:Sohmc|Mike]] has never geohashed and is hoping to earn the [[Leap geohash achievement]].
* [[User:Sam|Sam]] geohashed today for the first time. I always escape the city to somewhere on weekends; I will geohash when it is accessible.
* [[User:Mckaysalisbury|mckaysalisbury]] Moved to this area.

==Notable Locations==

2008-07-17 ~ On the ramp to the East Falls Church metro. Anyone who rode the Orange Line from points west passed right under {{egl|2008-07-17|38|-78|text=this spot.}} Potentially thousands of unwitting hashers!

2008-10-19 ~ Inside the I-95/VA-234 interchange in Dumfries.

2009-01-13 ~ On [[user:halberdier25|John's]] way to work.  Too bad he didn't notice until he got home.

2010-06-29 ~ Near the intersection of Independence and 2nd in the heart of Washington, {{egl|2010-06-29|38|-78|text=only a couple of blocks away}} from the [http://www.visitthecapitol.gov/ The Capitol Building] and other major DC landmarks
