Me, at my first geohash.

[edit] About Me

Home is the Boise area. Idaho has an excess of virgin graticules. I plan to remedy that (I've deflowered 2 so far). Hope to meet some of you on an expedition eventually. I will attempt to walk/bicycle to hashes when possible. However, the reality of this part of the world is that a large percentage of hashes will involve driving at least part of the way to reach.

[edit] Expeditions

[edit] Achievements

For most achievements, only the first time they are earned will be listed here. A few which have some magnitude or degree of achievement (like Frozen Geohash or Consecutive Geohash) will be listed again any time the new ribbon shows a higher magnitude of achievement (colder, more consecutive hashes, and so on). And a few others (such as Virgin Graticule) will be listed every time they are achieved.
