Introduction

26 / m / 30,-81

Warning: Not a real doctor.

Greetings! I'm Dr. Canadian Ninja, which I am well aware is a mouthful, so I ask most people to call me Geoff, though various short versions are fine. I call Jacksonville, Florida home, with family on the border of Spring Hill and Tampa, so I try to get geohashes around there, too. I'm also the sort of geohasher to go driving for two hours to reach a hash, so there's always that.

Currently, I'm on vacation in Palm Harbor, where I've got a few chances at nearby graticules for geohashes, so I'll be keeping my eyes open.

Geohashes

Current record: 17-2

19. 2012-10-09 Coming back from the Keys, fortuitously placed!

18. 2012-09-30 Just off I-75 on the way back from Atlanta.

17. 2012-09-03 Golf Club at Sanctuary Cove.

16. 2012-08-19 Condos by the beach, plus revisiting an old geohash.

15. 2012-08-12 Diamond Ranch proved to be interesting with horse attention.

14. 2012-07-25 Ugh, Olustee is terrible.

13. 2012-06-10 Playground! Best geohash ever.

12. 2012-06-08 #2 A trainyard down by Port of Tampa.

11. 2012-06-08 #1 An empty lot in Citrus Hills, first multihash!

10. 2012-06-07 Right between roads at lunch.

9. 2012-06-02 The rural road that wasn't. Hash not reached.

8. 2012-05-21 Happy Geohashing Day from Jacksonville!

7. 2012-05-14 Mission City? That graticule that is 98% water? I will jump on any chance I get!

6. 2012-05-13 Same hash week, same hash graticule!

5. 2012-05-08 One month later and one year older, a successful hash at Haller Airpark!

4. 2012-04-08 Georgia can go to hell.

3. 2012-04-01 A trip to Faver Dykes State Park takes a turn for the worse; hash not reached.

2. 2012-03-18 Needed to get out of the house and local hashes were in the Atlantic. Road trip!

1. 2012-03-10 Very first geohash, entered TPC at Sawgrass before security didn't like my presence. Still, a successful trip!

Goals

Complete a minesweeper achievement. Lake City, Florida as the center is one of the likely possibilities. Unfortunately, there's a whole lot of nothing, for the most part, which seems like it might be dull.
Complete hashes in five different states/provinces.
~~Complete hashes in ten different Florida counties.~~
Leave an entire deck of cards as markers. See below.
Complete a reverse regional achievement in the Jacksonville graticule at the county level.
- Duval County, FL
- Clay County, FL
- St. John's County, FL
- Nassau County, FL
- Camden County, GA
- Charlton County, GA

Markers

Where possible, I'd like to leave markers of these expeditions. My chosen sign stems from a recently started collection of playing cards. The cards are shuffled before the top one is picked, so there's no particular order to the cards. On one side, a link to geohashing.org/marker. On the other side are the coordinates reached.
