About Me
I 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.
On July 16th, 2012, I was the first person to visit a hash in Las Vegas, NV while in town to play in the World Series of Poker.
On September 23rd, 2012, I reached a hash in 42,-89 completing the Minesweeper Geohash and Déjà Vu achievements.
I celebrated Geohashing Day 2013, with a 5 point GeoSquishy near a large red rocket in Green Bay, WI.
I was working with a client on April 18, 2017 that was also the junior college I attended in the 90s. I spent a LOT of time less than .1 mi from the hash.
