Geohashing: 7/19/08 in 40,-82
19 07 2008
Today’s geohashing adventure took us once again to Westerville, Ohio! The hash today was on the corner of Smokeburr Dr and Sunbury Rd, in the middle of a residential driveway. We didn’t do chalk drawings this time, since it was private property, but we did go for a walk on the adjacent Hoover Dam.
Ohio’s Hoover Dam is not to be confused with Colorado’s; they’re even named for different Hoovers. Our Hoovers, Clarence and Charles, were a pair of brothers pre-eminent in the field of water technology, according to the big metal plaque of dedication in the middle of the dam. The structure dams the Big Walnut Creek, and the reservoir serves as a major source of water for the city of Columbus.
We took many pictures of the surrounding area, but didn’t meet any other geohashers. One day, one day.
I also hope to go to a hash in the Lancaster graticule one of these days, as well, since it would be the first documented hash in the area.
