Now in [[Prince Rupert, British Columbia]], spending the days working in the public library, and the mornings going "Oh crud, I need a boat/sherpa."

* Update: December 4, 2013. In the two years I've been here, I've only noticed once where the geohash looked accessible, and that was in the week after I dislocated my kneecap and wasn't leaving my second floor apartment. I think I need to up the madness quotient to Vancouver-like levels. Still alive. (Though no triumphs to speak of.)

* Update: January 3, 2023. Maybe this year, I will break the streak of ocean, ocean, mountain, island I'd have to charter a boat to, ocean, mountain that this grat gives me. Still alive, on the Discord.

I discovered geohashing on August 6, 2008.

==Contributions==

I created most of the [[:Category:New Brunswick|New Brunswick]], [[:Category:Nova Scotia|Nova Scotia]], and [[:Category:Prince Edward Island|Prince Edward Island]] graticule pages, and created the [[Regional Geohashing]], [[A Tale of Two Hashes achievement]] and [[Globalhash]] achievements.  I also helped with the [[Regional Geohashing]] [[User:Hessophanes/Regiohashing|display]], mapping out Canada and Chile.

==Statistics==

6 attempts, 2 successes.

===Hashes I've visited===

====[[Surrey, British Columbia|Surrey]]====

*[[2008-09-19 49 -122|2008-09-19]] Talk like a pirate day got me out for a quick hash; I've decided to call it a drunken success in retrospect.  Pirates don't care about the exact correct spot!

====[[Bathurst, New Brunswick|Bathurst]]====

*[[2008-08-10 47 -65|2008-08-10]] 4 km from my home for the summer, and on a Sunday.  No GPS, but got there, and supplied just enough photographic evidence.  I think.

===Hashes I've attempted===
====Surrey====
*[[2008-10-18 49 -122|2008-10-18]] On prison grounds, and inaccessible, despite it's closeness to the school.

====[[Moncton, New Brunswick|Moncton]]====
*[[2009-07-12 46 -64|2009-07-12]] Ended up about 30 m short, but I got a rather amusing report out of it.

====[[Balmoral, New Brunswick|Balmoral]]====
*[[2009-08-23 47 -66|2009-08-23]] 10 m of steep cliff short.

====Bathurst====
*[[2009-08-25 47 -65|2009-08-25]] Thwarted by beavers.  BEAVERS!
