About Me
52 / m / 42,-88I am a Mac geek (former Apple employee (twice)) and current Apple Certified Trainer/Consultant/Technician) living near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I know I'm late to the geohashing game, but I dig it a lot.
My house is less than two miles South/Southwest from the 43, -88 graticule, but I'm originally from Naperville, IL so the 42, -88 suits me just fine.
Geohashing 101 Geocache
I created a Geohashing 101 Geocache cache to introduce my local geocachers to geohashing and these pages contains all the info.
Notable Accomplishments
On August 22nd, 2011 (my second expedition) I managed to hit a five stop multihash on my way from Milwaukee to Minneapolis.
From June 16th to June 18th, 2012, I hit geohashes on three days in a row in three different graticules and in three different states.
