Geohashing has been dead in Boston for about two months now, but we decided to go anyways. The hash was in Canton, MA near where my friend Sparky, whom I met at the <a href=\"http:\/\/72.233.35.22\/?p=375\">first geohash meetup in Hopedale<\/a>, grew up. It was also near the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mass.gov\/dcr\/parks\/metroboston\/blue.htm\">Blue Hills reservation<\/a>, which has an abundance of hiking trails and a great view of Boston from the top. The plan was to go to the hash around 2pm, go hiking, and then get some dinner. Sparky and I joined our usual Thursday Night Social Gaming compatriots Mary and Whitney for the expedition. At the hash we met a xkcd forum user, <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.xkcd.com\/geohashing\/Image:2008-05-24_in_the_water.jpg\">Greg, who was also at the hash<\/a> where I met Sparky. The hash was in front of a suburban home, and the residents of that home were there, outside, so were not able to get closer than about 120 feet to the hash, which was well into their yard. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/72.233.35.22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/skyline.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/72.233.35.22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/skyline-thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"The View of Boston from the Blue Hills\" width=\"450\" height=\"91\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-588\" srcset=\"http:\/\/liryon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/skyline-thumbnail.jpg 450w, http:\/\/liryon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/skyline-thumbnail-300x60.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The hiking was more successful. It was a popular activity in the nice weather, so much so; that the parking lots were full. But the trails were not. The hike up the hill was very rocky, as in walking on large slabs of rock making up the hillside. Whitney pointed out that it was decidedly different from hiking in Michigan, where the rocks live under the ground and there aren&#8217;t any hills. The hike up didn&#8217;t seem to cover all that much elevation, but the view from the tower at the top was worth the hike. The hike down took much longer, but took a more circuitous, less rocky route. All and all it was a great use of a beautiful October day.
