My geohash locations

I'm Anthony. I live in Alameda, California, which is near San Francisco, California.

I will only intermittently make attempts to reach geohash points.

I think that the one-degree-square boxen should be called "quadrangles", like the USGS has been calling them forever.

Geohash attempts

Unsuccessful

  • I made my first attempt at a geohash on 2008-06-20, but was unable to reach the site, due to lack of trail and unwillingness to attempt cross-country through the poison oak. A Google Earth kmz file of my attempt is available here.
  • I drove past the San José location for 2008-06-25 on my way home, but didn't have time to find a good place to park along Stanley Boulevard, or a good way to take pictures of the site and my GPS while whizzing by at 50+ mph.
