__NOTOC__
Hello! My name's David and I live in Morton, Illinois, U.S.A., which is in the [[Peoria, Illinois]] [[graticule]]. I check the geohash location for the Peoria graticule every day, but since we're 99%* farms around here, I don't actually make many expeditions. If you visit the hashpoint on a given day on public property, especially near the metro of Peoria, then you might just find me there!

Hello! I live in the [[Peoria, Illinois]] graticule, and while I used to be very diligent to check the daily locations, I consider myself inactive now.

'''What am I contributing to this community?'''<br/>
 
I'm slowly building [[:Category:Regional geohash map|regional geohash maps]] for the 50 United States, based on similar maps people had created for other regions (namely European nations). I have [[:File:Regional Maps Completed.png|14 left to do]]. If you're so inclined, feel free to help out; I am not claiming responsibility to ''personally'' create all of them!
