Never created a Wiki page before, so here I go!

I'm Jake. I am a university student living in the Hartford graticule, currently double majoring in communications and music. My hobbies include playing tabletop games, writing new music (hoping I might make a profession out of it), and scouring the internet for weird stuff.

I found geohashing in the early summer of 2023, and it has caught my attention and fascination since! I used to go letterboxing (another exploration activity) with my family when I was younger, and the thought of going on adventures like back then has made me feel nostalgic. With me is MapMan, my father and longtime exploration enthusiast. There hasn't been a lot of activity in my graticule since 2020, so I might just put some more marks on the map here! I also live pretty close to the graticules to the north (Springfield), east (Providence), and northeast (Boston), so beware, you might find me there on Saturdays near 4 PM! (Scary.)
