Welcome!

Not-so-random facts

I'm the only geohasher resident in my graticule of Vernon, British Columbia, Canada.
With a visit from Robyn, we made Vernon the most active graticule for July 2010.
I have a large gallery of geohashing photos that I call my favourites.
I am one of the lucky few to have enjoyed a camping geohash.
I have met some really awesome geohashers.
I rarely complete expedition reports, but I do add descriptions to all my photos.
I do not reach a large amount of my coordinates, despite spending the better part of a day trying.

+Welcome!
-I geohash mostly in the [[Vernon, British Columbia|Vernon]] and [[Mabel Lake, British Columbia]] graticules.  It's a great place to be if you like to get to the middle of nowhere.  Unfortunately it also means there's no other geohashers around.
+==Not-so-random facts==
-==Getting There==
+*I'm the only geohasher resident in my graticule of [[Vernon, British Columbia]], Canada.
+*With a visit from [[User:Robyn|Robyn]], we made Vernon the most active graticule for July 2010.
-I drive a Subaru Legacy, which is a great car for all the unpaved roads here.  It doesn't always cut it on the logging roads and four-wheeler trails, which are required for most hash points.  Nevertheless, I think I surprise some of the pickups passing by, and sometimes myself.
+*I have a large gallery of geohashing photos that I call [[User:Juventas/My_Favourites|my favourites]].
+*I am one of the lucky few to have enjoyed a [[2009-08-22 50 -118|camping geohash]].
-I enjoy hiking, and soon invested in some real boots and a backpack from the Mountain Equipment Co-op.  The stuff is worth every penny.  I still can't get everywhere I want, and find myself looking at dual-sport motorcycles, river kayaks, and snowshoes.
+*I have met some [[2009-05-08 49 -120|really]] [[2009-06-20 49 -122|awesome]] [[2010-05-22 49 -123|geohashers]].
+*I rarely complete expedition reports, but I do add descriptions to all my photos.
-==Photography==
+*I do not reach a large amount of my coordinates, despite spending the better part of a day trying.
-I enjoy photography, and geohashing gave me the last incentive I needed to purchase a digital SLR.  My early photos are with a point & shoot, and I'm still learning with the SLR.  I've since purchased a good tripod, a shutter release, a hot shoe level, and a polarizing filter.  I hope as I continue, I'll be able to look at my photos and see a progression of improvement.
-You can check out [[User:Juventas/My_Favourites|my favourites]] of others, and eventually some of my own.
-==Botany==
-Started [[:Category:Flora]], plan to add one per expedition.
 ==Expeditions==
-'''Please Note:''' While I shamefully leave expedition pages incomplete, all photographs have comments attached.
