I enjoy biking, hiking, and cross-country skiing, and will happily use any of these modes of transportation to get to a geohash; in addition to kayaking, snowshoeing, busing, SkyTrain-ing, ferrying, and bugging rides off of generous people with cars.

I'm currently working full time, and my Saturday mornings are being spent at the UBC Farm market, leaving Sundays as my designated geohashing time. I'll also still try to nab any geohashes that are less than an hour away from UBC, should the Algorithm be so kind to produce any.

I'm planning to build a new bike this summer, so I'll try not to forget when that entitles me to the [[Maker Achievement]]. I'm also hoping I'll nab the [[Pub Geohash]], [[Border geohash]], and [[Admit One Geohash]] in the near future. I would also like to go geohashing in the [[Ucluelet, British Columbia]] graticule one of these days, especially if it falls near Bamfield.

Elbie, wearing her "hatscot."

About me

My name is Elizabeth, and I live in the Toronto graticule. I recently graduated from the University of British Columbia, and am now doing graduate work at the University of Toronto. I'm from Lethbridge, Alberta; and if asked which part of the internet I am from [1], my answer would be TarValon.net.

I enjoy biking, hiking, and cross-country skiing, and will happily use any of these modes of transportation to get to a geohash; in addition to kayaking, snowshoeing, busing, SkyTrain-ing, ferrying, and bugging rides off of generous people with cars. My hashscot is a black trilby known as my "hatscot," pictured above.

Geohashes

I've attempted a total of 35 expeditions, 22 of which were successful, in 10 different graticules. I've met 23 registered geohashers so far, and have adventured with 20 of them.

Expeditions

Geohashers met

Graticules I've Geohashed in

Achievements

My list has gotten quite out of date; I will eventually reassemble it.
