About me

Geohashing Buddies Alison Alison is my girlfriend and most active geohashing companion, the first statement being the direct cause of the second. She particularly enjoys cycling to geohashes and geocaching during expeditions. Alison has been on 16 expeditions with me, 10 of them successful. Benture Benture is my dad. Although he started out as a drag-along companion, he has gone on some expeditions of his own! Benture has been on 14 expeditions with me, 12 of them successful. Daisy Daisy is a dog. She is perhaps my most enthusiastic geohashing companion because she loves walks in the woods and sticks. Daisy has been on 13 expeditions with me, 11 of them successful. Higgs Higgs goes to college at Oregon State with me and is in the same major as me. I told him about geohashing after a Data Structures class and he has been hooked ever since. He owns his own standalone GPS and a machete. Higgs has been on 10 expeditions with me, 9 of them successful. Greg Greg went to high school with me and recently transferred to Oregon State. He has been programming with Google Glass and has a prototype app which shows the location of the nearest hashpoint. Greg has been on 9 expeditions with me, all successes. Kate Kate is my mom. She mostly comes on the expeditions that involve taking nice walks through the woods, although sometimes I forget to tell her that we are going and she is unprepared. Sorry! Kate has been on 10 expeditions with me, 8 of them successful. Other companions Leah, my sister, who will have you know that she rather dislikes geohashing Grandma Maggie and Grandpa John geohash with me occasionally Callie goes to Oregon State Michael5000, who introduced me to geohashing Dmitriy goes to Oregon State and was my roommate through early 2014 Reece lives in Troutdale and joined me for a couple of expeditions Scott, Higgs's dad Red Mekanik and darkmatter365 came with me on my first expedition Bobby joined me for a rather boring expedition to Clackamas County Colten joined me for a failed expedition to Larch Mountain area Sarah came to an expedition in Sandy Marie came with us to an expedition on Mary's Peak Sam graciously joined us for an expedition in Deschutes County Cameron, Eddie, and Alex joined me on a very long hike Kyle is my roommate, and as such gets dragged along occasionally
