Local geohash!

[phyzome.livejournal.com]

Are there any other geohashers around here? If so, you might be interested to know that today's Boston, MA geohash is on Broadway in Somerville!

I've started an expedition page here: http://wiki.xkcd.com/geohashing/2010-11-06_42_-71

I'll be there at about 4:00 PM, which is only an hour away -- should have posted this in the morning.

(Explanation for everyone else: Geohashing is a random adventure sport started by Randall Munroe's XKCD comic. An algorithm generates coordinates daily for each 1 x 1 latitude/longitude square on the planet. You try to get to the nearest one whenever possible, sometimes ending up in places you never knew existed.)

So, how many people showed up?

Sorry I read this too late to do it. Had you posted it this morning I might have been there.

(btw it's just "Broadway" not "Broadway St")

There were seven of us!

(Accidentally posted this first from my not so super-seekrit other LJ identity.)

Aw, I'm sorry I didn't post in time. I only noticed the coordinates around noon, and didn't think to post here until much later. :-/

This sounds like fun. I'm sorry to have missed the deadline (only by almost 5 hours) but do post again. :)
