Never heard about this before. How does it work? Does everyone try to
show up at the sane time or do you just head out on an adventure of
trying to make it to the location on your own. Reading through some
stuff on geohashing I thought I saw something that suggested meeting
up at the hash spot at 4 pm. Fill us in a little more and maybe we
aill see you Sunday.

I'm getting ready to head out for some geocaching in Saturday's area,
but have no idea as to what to do or when to do it. Would love to
meet some of you.

Ok... read up on the Hashing... and decided to try it out. We
bushwacked our way through the undergrowth and muck to reach the Hash
spot at 4:00 p.m. Found ourselves alone, so we took pictures, shook
hands with each other and trudged back to our car. Will try again at
a less remote spot and see if anyone goes!
