==About Me==
My permanent home is in the '''[http://carabiner.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?date={{LOCALYEAR}}-{{LOCALMONTH}}-{{LOCALDAY2}}&lat=42&long=-88&zoom=9&abs=-1 41,-86]''' graticule and go to school (and live) in the '''[http://carabiner.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?date={{LOCALYEAR}}-{{LOCALMONTH}}-{{LOCALDAY2}}&lat=41&long=-88&zoom=9&abs=-1 40,-86]''' graticule.  My boyfriend [[User:StatMan22|StatMan22]] got me interested in geohashing.  He recently bought a GPS so we use that on our adventures we do together.  <br><br>

===Equipment===
I only have my smartphone which is not as accurate as a straight up GPS, but it will do.<br><br>
''Cameras''
*iPhone
*Canon SX210IS
*Nikon D5100
