From Geohashing

You Europeans have finished an expedition on the 15th already and we haven't even got our April 15th coordinates yet! -Robyn 06:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Bwahaha! In two weeks that will be me! Hahah! Thepiguy 06:56, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

At least they did it at midnight. Now I can see why they were done so soon. -Robyn

"through the wet, low cereal plants"... hmm. I hate to be a spoilsport, but please don't trample into production fields to get to a geohash. It damages the farmer's source of income and in the long run, will earn the geohashing community a bad reputation (not much different from ignoring No Trespassing signs). The general agreement seems to be, if the hash is within maybe 10m of the edge of the field, you can claim Coordinates reached without going in there, and if it's noticeably more than that (say 50m), it will have to be Coordinates not reached (but you might still try to get to the closest point on the field's circumfence). --dawidi 20:27, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Often there are tractor tracks from spraying operations. Sometimes these can be followed with negligible damage. --Sourcerer (talk) 06:14, 25 July 2015 (EDT)
