What made it not credible? Were you able to make it to the coordinates?
I, for one, had
never heard of anyone going geohashing . It seems...really adventurous.
And I guess I just don't have adventurous friends.
(But I do have a father with a GPS...I wonder if he'd be interested in this...)

I've never been geohashing but I did stumble across a geocache site while snow shoeing a few weeks ago. It was exciting to find even though we weren't looking for it.

Our Young Woman's leader found it before the activity and made sure we found it in a timely manner. It felt like cheating.

...geocaching. Either way. It felt like a waste of time to me.

Oh. If we're going to talk about geocaches that are a little less than real, one time after a high school dance one of my friend's dads actually set up a geocache for us to find after the dance at like midnight. And we were all dressed in horrible DI clothes, hiking up this mountain...

There's a difference between geocaching and geohashing...there's nothing to find besides the location for the latter.

I am aware of that now. In fact, as soon as this thread was created I was like, ...wait...crap.

Hrm. Depends on how far away the location is.

I don't think that's even possible...
