About

I am a geocacher (mwwilsons at geocaching.com also) from Norwood, NC. I recently learned about geohashing from a geocache here in southern New Mexico. I had never hear of it or xkcd before, but had fun doing the geocache. I now anxiously await the new day's geohash each morning so I suspect that I will play for a while. We travel quite a bit and I think it will be interesting to look for reachable geohashes as we do. My wife thinks that this is even sillier than geocaching but that's what you get when you marry someone like me. Maybe someday a Saturday meetup with other geohashers there, or even a reachable globalhash??
