Hashcard #2

Six years and four months ago to the day, I received my first hashcard – an achievement-earning postcard sent while out on a geohashing expedition, to another geohasher. This experience went some way to my acquisition last year of a PO Box through which anybody on the Internet is invited to send me a postcard! (I’ve collected a few!)

Well: today I received my second hashcard (and tenth “postcard from the Internet”)! This one came from GeorgDerReisende, whose 800+ expeditions are more than a little intimidating! He’d spent his 13th hashiversary on an expedition to a location outside Frankfurt earlier this month, where he narrowly failed to reach the hashpoint because it was just slightly too far into somebody’s private property.

Postcard reading: Hi Dan Q! / Today is my 13th hashiversary. This was a good moment & an expedition. It let me go to Kronberg am Taunus, but I couldn't go near enough. Is a reading of 5m for a second without proof good enough? I think no. / Greetings from 2026-07-06 50 8 / GeorgDerReisende

But at least he was able to claim the hashcard achievement (although not for the first time)! Well done, GeorgDerReisende!
