From Geohashing

And I was too distracted by the fact that the photo uploading information to notice that you just geohashed Israel. Well done! Keep it up! - Robyn.

מזל טוב - Great to finally see an expedition in Israel. Of course this was a Holy Hash (because of the synagogue). Thanks for pointing out the flaws in the achievement definition. We'll have to work on this. --Ilpadre 10:14, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

That is a great expedition and one of the best no-batteries writeups I've seen. Sometimes I wonder if the no batteries people were anywhere near where they should be, because of the experiences I've had trying to find coordinates when I do have a GPS. I definitely agree that you win the Holy Hash achievement. For one, it's been traditional that if an achievement description is changed after you achieve it, you get to keep the achievement, even if you found and used a loophole. And for two a synagogue is a synagogue, no matter what it's made of. Next time you get an accessible location you can pack a picnic blanket and sandwiches. -Robyn 16:40, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations for that great expedition. I had never really looked closely at the definition of a holy hash so far. I'm actually not surprised that definitions fail once you start with these on religious matters. :P -- relet 17:50, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Wow! Great job, especially for your first hash! Looking forward to seeing more expeditions from Israel -- NCBears 22:53, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
