[edit] Introduction

I've been checking out Geo Hash points on the map for quite a while, somewhat out of curiosity and somewhat to see different random places. A year or two after I started checking out the map I finally achieved my first successful expedition with the help of a GPS-owning friend. Now I finally have a GPS device in the form of a phone so I was able to achieve a second successful expedition on my own.
