Roald88 (Me!)
Hi! I'm Roald88 (she/they/he). I first learned about geohashing sometime in 2023 or so, via XKCD. I only just started actually going to hashes this month (as of writing this, January 2025), and am no longer limiting myself to hashes in walking distance from my house (convincing people to drive me places is going better than I thought). I'm in the Boston, Massachusetts graticule (42, -71). Generally, given where I live (right on the edge of the graticule) I can’t reach a lot of the hashes that are in my graticule - a 9 mile walk is about my limit, and that only gets me to Burlington or so. I have learned, from the amount of hashes I haven’t been able to get to because of this, that I need a kayak/canoe/boat/inflatable raft/floating thing that I can direct/floating thing that I might be able to direct. I have been told that it is a bad idea to try and improvise one, given that I cannot swim and have strong thalassophobia. Eventually, I’ll get around to putting a picture of myself up here, but that may take a bit.
From what I can tell, there aren’t any currently active geohashers in my graticule, though I may be wrong (please, correct me if I am).
I have a Hashscot (Rosy Maple Moth) who will come with me to hashes whenever I remember to bring them.
