About Me
I am an information technology strategy consultant and semi-professional food writer and cooking instructor who lives northeast of Houston, Texas. I've had a lifelong love of maps, aimless travel and determining my geographic location in a airliner without aid of any navigation devices or other supporting information. I own a sextant, know how to use it, and have.
Upon learning of the origin, purpose and philosphy of geohasing, I immediately became a devotee; then planned and undertook my first expedition within hours. Based on my understanding of geohasing rules, I failed. By about 30-40 feet. And a few snakes. Well, one snake. But I'm hooked.
