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's and the surrounding graticules 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!

*Hyperbole

What am I contributing to this community?
I'm slowly building regional geohash maps for the 50 United States, based on similar maps people had created for other regions (namely European nations). I have 12 left to do. If you're so inclined, feel free to help out; I am not claiming responsibility to personally create all of them!
