Hello. We are actually a geohashing team composed of two brothers from Orange Park, Florida. The one brother is Chris, a student at Georgia Tech in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The other brother, Nick, is a student at Georgia State University. Being brothers and living in such proximity, (and having only one car between us) we make one hell of a geohashing duo. We are currently home for summer break in the Jacksonville, Florida graticule.
There exists also a third brother; Mr. Bow Tie.

Miscellaneous
Goals
We'd like to achieve our Origin and Displaced Origin hashes. As we are not twins, and were in fact born years apart, it is a fantastic stroke of luck that our origin hashes are only a few hundred yards from each other.
We're keeping our eyes out for closer hashes that can hold the opportunities for Walk, Public Transport and Bicycle geohashes.
We'd like to complete a Reverse Regional Achievement for the Jacksonville, FL and Atlanta, Ga graticules.
- For Jacksonville, this will require hashes in the Florida counties of
Clay,Duval, Nassau andSt. Johns, as well as hashes in Charlton and Camden counties in Georgia.
- For Atlanta, this'll take
Fulton,Dekalb, Cobb, Clayton,Paulding, Polk,Carroll,Douglas, Heard, Troup, Meriwether,Coweta, Pike, Lamar, Monroe, Butts, Spaulding, Henry, Newton,Fayette,Gwinnett, andRockdalecounties. This could take a while…
As soon as we can convince someone to let us kidnap them, the Drag-Along achievement.
Other Notes
So I was bored the other night and started browsing through past coordinates in graticules I've been. I found that the Jacksonville, Florida geohash for Thursday, October 12, 2006 was just under a kilometer from my house, and in the middle of a nearby road. Moreover, I certainly drove directly over the hash twice, once on the way to school and once on the way back, and in those days I carpooled with another girl who went to my high school, making her an unwitting drag-along. Oh the Curse of Unawareness.
